The interesting Porsches at the Desert Classic Concours D'Elegance

the 1955 Porsche convertible in the Arkansas Ozark woods... just one of dozens of cars found in the Ozark Natl Forrest, a Natl Park for petes sake! Perhaps they had been stolen and dumped?

Found in in this months (Feb 2012) issue of Auto Enthusiast, a good all around magazine

If you get a thrill out of learning about abandoned cars, like Barn Finds, but up for grabs because they were left in the middle of no where, on public property (the desert, the wide open places between towns in the midwest)  you might alos like a book by Will Shiers, it's called Roadside Relics. Which is on Amazon.com starting at 15 bucks used, all the way to a hundred bucks for new hardcover editions http://www.amazon.com/Roadside-Relics-Americas-Abandoned-Automobiles/dp/0760327483

Why are they taking Porsche's into 4 wheel drive territory?
