Cadillac De Ville on Pedro Mountain

High on the slopes near the top of the Pedro Mountain, sits a wreck of Cadillac De Ville. Overgrown with the Coyote bushes, it looks like a modern sculpture rather than an abandoned car. Its wheels are turned to the right, as if the driver was trying to avoid going down the steep slope before the car finally froze on the rock.



That model was manufactured only in years 1960-70, and one of the signs scratched on the body has a date 1976.



De Ville used to be a large luxury car, how did it end up stuck up there? There is another car wreck on the uphill slope a couple of hundred yards behind, and both cars were heading in the same direction, west towards the ocean.
