Brian: Down through the years there have been rumours of forgotten vehicles of every make and model. There is no doubt some of these are true. A lot of it could be inventory not being rotated properly. My Super A for example is a 1953, yet it was sold new at Truro, Nova Scotia in Sept of 1955. I have heard stories of tractors being sold new, 4 to 5 years after manufacture.

The one that intriged me the most was a story of a railroad company in southern US, finding several rail car loads of 1957 Chevy's, that had been shunted off in a wooded area for some 45 years. Apparently this 20 lane rail siding had been used during war time as a holding place for equipment destined for overseas. Story said it had been used since for storing out of service rail cars.

In my opinion, one of those 57 Chevy Belair with V8 engine 0 milage in 2002. Man that would be a tresure.
