Here's What A Car Looks Like After Spending 28 Years At The Bottom Of A River
Thanks to the ‘Clean River Project’ of Methuen, Massachusetts, this long missing 1986 Nissan Sentra has been recovered from the bottom of the Merrimack River. It’s not in particularly good condition (think ‘needs TLC’ on a Craigslist/eBay advert), as it was stolen way back in 1988, and has presumably spent almost all that time submerged in river water.
What’s interesting is this isn’t an isolated case: the Clean River Project has already recovered six cars from rivers in the area, and has a grant from the Massachusetts Environmental Trust to remove 20 vehicles from local waterways.

i mean it looks pretty well preserved, other than literally splitting in half
reminds me of a 1956 cadillac coupe deville me and my friend found in a river once, still have no idea what the history of it was and i wasn’t able to get much other than an almost perfectly intact emblem because the person who’s yard that it was in front of didn’t like us being down by the river cause of snakes but, it was more rough than this overall.
Here is the emblem before i cleaned it up
