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.

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