Classic Cars in River

This is in Bryson City, North Carolina. In the 1960s in order to prevent riverbank erosion stacks of crushed cars were placed in the riverbank.

Neighbors Drive-in was located at that spot for years before it burned down. I not sure if the owner of Neighbor had the cars put there, or if the owner after him did it. Those cars were put there in the mid-sixties. The reason was because in the spring the Tuckaseegee would flood and eat away at that small piece of property, the cars kept it from washing away.

they use to do that yrs ago stack them old junk cars like that in certain places along the river because it helped keep the river from erodeing away the bank.i guess they never heard of boulders back in the day. lol

@Brendon00000, I owned a Lotus Seven S1 which dissapeared over night. About two days later I found the car with its nose under a fallen building. Same thing happened with my F50 and my Peugeot 203, but I found those in a river.
