Mystery car found on USS Yorktown.

[John M.]

NOAA discovered a 40 or 41 Ford Woodie Convertible inside the hangar deck of the WW2 carrier USS Yorktown some 3 miles below the surface. It looks surprisingly intact for being below the ocean surface and at that depth for over 80 years.

With “SHIP SERVICE ___ NAVY” written on part of its front plate, this car is hypothesized to have been used for Rear Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher, Captain Elliott Buckmaster, or other ship crew while USS Yorktown was conducting business in foreign ports.

Bring it up and restore it to running condition.
