I've done several of these burial in car blogs and it never ceases to amaze me what people will do. Personally, I hate seeing an old car or vehicle go into the ground to be destroyed. It may be cool on the day of the funeral, but afterward the car begins it's journey of decay and, in a few years, it's nothing but a lump of rust no matter how well the vault is built. At the end of this blog, check out my blog about the 1957 Plymouth that was buried in 1957 and dug up 50-years later. There's not much left.

You have to remember, the person buried in these vehicles are dead. They are not driving the car to Heaven or elsewhere. Their remains are simply sitting in the driver's seat or their casket or urn of cremated remains is placed on it. So if you are thinking that the car, somehow, turns into a ghost car once it's in the ground, sorry, that's not the case.

Please don't think of me as a "buzz-kill" because I don't want to see a classic as a rust bucket long before it's time. Just because a person has all the money in the world is no reason to destroy a great car. With all of that said, I give you another example with this blog of a man who was buried in his old Pontiac. Some may say this is not a classic car anyway. But remember this also, cars are built for one year. And with all the abuse some have taken so that they end up as junkyard decor, plus ripping them apart for street rods and lead sleds and the "project cars" that never seem to get finished, it's still a real waist of a nice old car. However, it was this man's wish and, for that reason, I guess, it should be honored.
