One of our dives, Eric Deister and Walter Pickel were swimming around during decompression and came upon the remains of a vehicle.  After the dive, they were asking about it and I had to tell them I'd never seen it.  This was after a flood so we think it got uncovered when all the accumulated debris got washed into the sink.  O'Leno during a flood is an amazing place.  The normally placid sinkholes become giant whirlpools as the flood water is drained into the aquifer.  Underwater, there are tree trunks, branches and leaves, hundreds and even thousands of feet back from the nearest entrance.  Our guideline is routinely ripped out, broken, and left a hopelessly tangled mess after floods and is one of the special things about diving here. If you can't lay line today, just give a few months!

Now, O'Leno has a long history of moon shining and stills, so I was thinking this may be a moonshine operation that went awry and the car went into the sink.  Maybe we would find some nicely aged whiskey.... but no such luck. Still its a very cool car.  The steel is badly deteriorated and crumbles at the slightest touch.  So, it probably won't survive too many more floods. 

We managed to get the pictures below.

This is the front grill.

We found the axle bearing cover and we know its a Chevy and the wheels are solid steel disks

The windows are solid glass, no side vent windows and very thick glass. The picture on the right is some kind of light bulb surrounded by rusted metal.

Another picture of one of the doors and to the right is some of the brake tubing and part of an axle in the background.

As best I can tell, the picture below is what the vehicle looked like new. This is a 1927 Chevy Coupe. The windows match as Chevy started using vent windows around 1931. The wheels also match with the small axle covers .
