a man in England’s West Yorkshire area was digging post holes for decking, and found a 1955 Ford buried in his backyard, possibly buried to avoid a scrapping fee

John Brayshaw, who lives in Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire bought the house six months ago, was digging post panels for decking.

He said: “I saw the roof and I thought, ‘Who’d bury the roof of a car? Then I kept digging and realized it was a full car. The only thing missing was the wheels.”

John added he believes the previous owners of the house, who had lived there for 50 years, knew nothing of the car either.

He said: "The couple who lived here before have both died, we bought the house from their brother and he said they lived here for 50 years and never did anything with the garden.
