Mark Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 That's in Australia...I have an Australian book with a picture of that same car on the back cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 That photo has been seen around the internet for probably 20 years or more...would love to know the story behind it. A Falcon was abandoned decades ago in a forest and a tree grew up around it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Falcon was abandoned decades ago in a forest and a tree grew up around it? Doubt it. When the tree was smaller, it wouldn't have had the strength to start lifting a ton and a half of car. Trees can grow around and through a car, but not lift it off the ground. Looks like someone cut a section away from a large tree and placed the car there. I've seen other pictures of similar projects in other locations. It definitely attracts attention! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some years back some Canadian kids (I think they were) decided to come down and chain a VW bug to the Golden Gate Bridge and throw it over.

Belugawrx Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 just saying those pics are not from the same bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldcarfan27 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) I call foul. How would they have had time to set all that up beforehand. Stop traffic with a big truck when they get there, and rush to hook up and hoist that much metal over the safety railing and get away without ANYONE noticing? Either that or people there are totally clueless. That bridge has a lot of traffic on it all day long!
