    1. The gear shift is three on the tree…

  3. Is it possible for that tree to have grown to that size through the car? Or was the car assembled around the tree?

    1. Don't know what kind of tree that is, but an Alleppo Pine I planted from seed grew bigger than this in about 20 years.

  4. Not if you convert it to a wood-burner.

  5. I believe it is a 1974 Buick Electra 2x4 edition.

  6. Is this some kind of rural art form? I’ve seen things like this many times before. It takes a lot of work to pull the engine, hood, windshield etc and the tow the hulk way out into some field somewhere. Then plant a tree in it.

    So seriously, is this a thing?

  7. The 472 cu in V8 is in the top of the tree.

    1. By 1976 you'd be lucky to get 200hp out of that motor, what with unleaded gas and emissions controls, all while getting 8-9 mpg!

  8. Too far gone? Hell no! There 2 -3 cord of standing firewood there, ready to pick. Car's a goner, though
