A 90-year-old Chrysler was found in a bedroom, of all places, with all kinds of junk under the trunk.
The car is gorgeous, but it’s not in great condition.
It’s one thing to find dust and rust, but sometimes these old cars have unexpected stuff in the cabin or the trunk.
And you have to wonder how the car even got there in the first place.

The story behind the abandoned Chrysler
The car was discovered by WD Detailing, a YouTube channel dedicated to the restoration of abandoned cars.
So far, they’ve done that with a Mazda RX-7 and a Ferrari 512 BB, but this is probably even rarer than those.
The weird thing about this particular find is the collection is scattered across the house.
There’s a car in the kitchen, one in the living room, and one in the bedroom – the Chrysler.
The owner is a little bit hazy on the details.
“I believe it’s an Airstream, but don’t quote me on that,” she said.
The owner said she inherited the car from her father, but she added that by the time her dad bought the Chrysler, she’d already left the family home.
What the car looks like after a proper wash
This Chrysler is in fairly terrible shape, chiefly because it’s so dirty.
The most shocking part is the trunk, which looks like it has created its own ecosystem, with things living inside.
But the guys from the WD Detailing YouTube channel generally start by washing the car thoroughly, which always works wonders.
It certainly did on the Chrysler, it already looks one thousand times better after being washed.
Hopefully, it’ll be able to hit the road again soon.
