I Found Two Abandoned Cars In A Forest On The Island Of Montreal. Let’s Identify Them

https://www.montrealracing.com/wp/w...-lile-de-montreal-pouvez-vous-les-identifier/



This isn’t something you see every day – especially on the heavily developed island of Montreal where there is little undeveloped land.


On the Western tip of the island there is a forest called Angell Woods which has been the subject of many court fights over the last few decades. Last year the city of Montreal bought a large portion of the territory to ensure its conservation. It’s a popular area for local residents to walk their dogs and there is even a full dog park on the south side.


While walking through the forest, I came across something I didn’t expect: two abandoned cars. It was just an odd thing to see in an upscale neighborhood where there is a lot of foot traffic. The cars have been there for decades and appear to be from the 1950s. How they have managed to stay there this long is remarkable. One would think the city would have had them removed long ago but they seem to be a part of the charm of the forest.


There weren’t many markings left that could be used for identification purposes but I photographed what I could find. Let’s use our collective power to try and narrow down what these vehicles might be.

used to walk my dog there all the time a few years back when I lived in Lachine.

I remember thinking those cars must have been there before the forest grew!

Le noir le moteur est un 4 cylindre... Dans ces années la... D'apres moi c'est pas un big three, surment un produit européen
 

Chrysler windsor ca fait ben du sens.
Juste la trappe a gaz carré qui en fait pas....mais elle a surement été changé dans la vie du char, on semble voir la trace ronde de celle d'origine juste a côté.

Photo d'un 52 pour la trappe a gaz.......je sais les porte arriere du 52 fitte pas,,mais la 53 oui.

par contre l'emplacement de la porte a gaz sur la 53 serais en arriere a gauche juste au dessus du bumper :|
et la dimension de l'embleme sur la valise semble pas fitté.
Ca pourrais etre la version, dodge ou desoto du meme char par contre.
 
Aucun commentaire sur les autos mais Je vais la au moins 2 fois par semaine avec mon chien lol

Back in the day scrapped cars littering the streets, woods etc was a regular site as there was a fee to scrap a car.
 
If I'm honest that first one's engine block looks suspiciously like a Ford inline 6. What does the tag on the oil filter port say?
