Artifact Condition: This vehicle is mostly chassis although all the wheels appear to be present including a spare on the stern. Otherwise not much else as far as features go. There are two pegs sticking out where the side running board would have been. No fenders. There is some debris on the driver's side, possibly the firewall. Difficult to tell if there is an engine, but does not look like it. No bumpers. From the shape and length of the rear end it is possible the vehicle had a rumble seat or trunk.
Additional Information: Only one capture from the video in this survey as the sub did not stop but only hovered briefly and moved on. There are numerous vehicles in this area.
