We've all seen abandoned cars while we're out and about, but have you ever wondered about the stories behind them?
I wish the answers were written somewhere on their rusting metal! It's still fascinating to simply observe them and imagine what they were really like way back when they had fresh coats of paint and all their working parts — like families from the 1950s running errands, or the military men who would have been behind the wheel of #4.
Some are too far gone to ever be restored, but I really hope someone takes the effort to spruce up more than a few of these striking automobiles left out to be worn away by nature. I really think #7 could be returned to its former glory with the right amount of elbow grease!
Have you ever wondered about the abandoned cars you've seen in your town? Or have you ever had one restored to ride in again?

I almost expect this super-mossy jalopy to start talking to me like one of Jim Henson's Muppets.

If we could rewind time on this teal car, I'm sure we'd see a very happy driver behind the wheel — it probably had quite the vibrant paint job at some point.

I honestly hope someone finds this two-toned ride and spruces it back up to its former glory!

According to the photographer, the waves revealed this sand-trapped car on the shores of New York back in 1973.

This one went missing in the '70s, but was finally found washed up in 2o10 in California. It definitely looks much worse for the wear.

If cars could talk, I'm sure this one would have a compelling story about how it ended up way out in the middle of nowhere, stranded in a pond all those years ago.

You can see just the tiniest bit of moss springing on top of this one, but I'm more interested in the petite back window's curvy design.

I love the contrast between the dark vehicle and the bright nature surrounding it.

This looks like something my grandpa would have had on his farm way back in the day!
