Remnants of at least 5 different cars that are visible, being used as a retaining wall off of a rural farm road. The only one I could readily identify was the 61 Ford sedan. Hard to say how many more hundreds of cars might be buried in there, it was a common use of scrap cars back in the day.

The Foyota

I just may have posted this here earlier. I know I put it somewhere on FTE. I did recently notice that this thread has morphed away from just ford truck oddballs, so here goes.
This is my '79 four door FJ 55 Toyota landcruiser wagon I have owned since 1986. In it's past life a couple of cross country trips, a 3000 mile trip to the Southwest pulling a 15' canned ham trailer with 3 kids in the backseat. Body rusted away and I have a s#1+ ton of jailbar parts so now I have a Foyota with 4wd, ps, disc brakes, all from the factory. 3.73 gears and 33" rubber equals an easy 70 mph all day.

This rig is not too far away from me. It is at a very small roadside BBQ joint that operates out of a trailer. the '49 truck has been built to hold a smoker grill and decorated and adorned with all sorts of oddball stuff.
