I don’t have a location for the pictures, only that we are in Manchester in 1968.
There may be someone who can identify the street, but for now that is it.
Other than to reflect on the sad fate of this once impressive looking car, which again someone will be able to offer up a name, make and date.
But for now, it is enough to note that what had once been the pride and joy of someone, had been pretty much used and abused.
Once the wheels and other fittings had vanished it quite clearly became a place to play for the local kids, before even that attraction passed off.
I can remember similar abandoned cars when I was young and the fascination they posed to young children, bored with the park and looking for something to exercise their imagination.

I think that's a Plymouth Fury! A very late '50s model - maybe 1958 - have a look at the film Christine...
