EDIT: Anyone want to try and figure out what kind of car this is?

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Nice. And how the hell did no one notice this before?

Looks like 50’s GM to me.

Your guess is as good as mine. Probably better, actually.

“ The rusted-out wheel is part of a vehicle found underneath a construction site at the University of Ottawa. “

My first instinct was that this looks more like a flexplate. But it’s hard to get a sense of what portion of the car I’m actually looking at. Hopefully more pictures will follow.

That bumper is a spot on match.

I just ran a Google image search on flexplates, finding all different shapes and sizes. So I guess that not all flex plates have a ring gear. Yeah, definitely an engine leaning over to the side, one head on top and one to the right. Whoever wrote the captions was not the one on-site taking pictures.

Or an ‘57 Olds (Super?) 88 :

Hard to tell the difference. Same engine, either way: a big ol’ 371 Rocket V8. That mangled one sitting in front of the bumper is missing a carb though.
