This historic vehicle has been dragged out of it’s grave after a whopping 90 years.
It was discovered in amongst trees in a sorry state.
The car which dates back to before World War II was found and rescued on a farm.
The car in question was actually a Buick, and it’s steeped in history as well as dirt.

Overrun by branches- the car really is one with nature
The motor was found in a harrowing state after being left to fend for itself in the wild, for what appears to be decades.
And, thanks to the wild guests that planted themselves in it’s rear, it really was not looking it’s best.
The car was parked almost 100 years ago in 1932, in Kansas on a farming area, thanks to the dated license plate.
Aiming to rescue the car from its sorry state, the vehicle was targeted and salvaged.
The branches and entangled wildlife were beaten back, and the gem was unearthed…kind of.
Despite it’s old age, the car still had some identifiable aspects.
Rust adorned every surface of the vehicle
The age old rust speaks for itself – and the vehicle is covered in it.
In the end, it actually turned out to be a Buick.
Buick first surfaced in the 1800s
According to Jay Buick GMC: ” Humble beginnings mark the path forward for Buick, founded in 1899 and named for automotive pioneer David Buick.
“The first vehicle ever made that year was the brainchild of the company’s chief engineer Walter Marr, with the company’s namesake ironically reluctant to begin the path of auto-making.
“Instead, his intention was to continue producing stationary and marine engine production.”
Parts recovered from the decaying relic include the frame, badge, headlights, hood and even a glass windshield.
The car bears a resemblance to a Buick Six, according to Auto Evolution.
The car still has the engine too, which – considering the amount of time it has been left – is quite remarkable.
Buick, still produces cars today, and they are a far cry from the one rescued above.
The company offers a sports touring line and Avenir, which shows the advancement in its automotive developments over the decades.
But, will the rescued Buick be tackled by someone craving a rescue project?
Or will it be left to collect dust (and rust) once more.
