With an open car you can drive to the end of the pier and go fishing from it.

Kind of looks like an early 30 that was deluxified.Looks like an oval speedo.Can speculate a lot about that picture.Drove off the road? Forget to set the brake? Stolen and dumped? I just know I wouldn't have wanted to be in it.

Any notes with photo?

I did not think they had stone guards many years ago.
