Imagine my surprise when driving through the inner suburbs of my city to see this sight. In all of my years I have never seen a single trunk lid decorating someone’s front lawn, not to mention an entire multicolored assortment.
What is the purpose? The ability of the owner to brag about a house with four separate decks? Or are we looking at two mismatched pairs of boots? There is surely no attempt to keep a lid on things, with these on display for all to see. Actually, I suspect that they may be for sale as this house always seems to have something unusual for sale in the front yard.
A little looking leads me to believe that these fit a Chevy Cavalier – a curious choice for the serious collector of sheetmetal parts. Well at least we are able to bring a little color (if not much variety) to your day.
Weird, the house looks kinda abandoned to me as well.
I myself am trying to do a similar thing, but with aircooled VW decklids
Roof looks in real bad shape and I would also guess it is abandoned or just minimally used. Someone is cutting the lawn though.
Is it a coincidence that these are the colours of the Colombian flag, and that Colombia is playing England in the first elimination round of the World Cup today (July 3rd)? Maybe not!
That’s a pretty Cavalier assumption but as good as any, I suppose.
Or perhaps this is the home of the famous Roy G Biv and I caught him in the middle of bringing out his entire collection. 🙂
It really drives home just how devoid of color that this house really is.
Good old Indiana limestone, from the looks of it. Yes, some landscape work and some contrasting shutters would certainly help.
Three seasons porch down there on the end where you could sit on a hot night trying to manifest a breeze and watching the old black and white TV attached to rabbit ear antennas.
I can almost see my paternal grandfather now trying to pull an Indians game from a Cleveland station. Sitting there in his undershirt and work pants, tipping back a beer.
Maybe it’s a 4th of July colors representation and he didn’t have a white trunk lid and used the yellow one?
Perhaps he is an elephant hunter, and these are just trunk decoys.
Shameless!
Primary Colors… Interesting…
Yeah, that reminds me. I need to buy some ink for my printer.
Three from the absolute worst refresh in the history of Chevrolet (2003-2005 Cavalier) and one Cobalt lid hiding in there. Odd for sure.
One of the locks has been punched. Leftovers of a theft and stripping outfit? Remains of a yard sale? Total puzzle.
Weird. A few towns over from mine, here in beautiful Pulaski County VA, a gentleman who deals in used parts via the local Craigslist currently has 7(!) Chevy Cobalt trunk/deck lids prominently displayed in his front yard in a similar fashion. Unfortunately, no pics… Since the Cobalt is slowly replacing the Cavalier as the “low income car” of choice here in Appalachia, they probably will sell. Cavalier lids would sell here as well. FWIW I daily drive a beater Cobalt, always on the lookout for cheap parts!
The trunks are odd. Definitely some odd “art installation.”
The house, now that’s more interesting. I love stone houses, and this looks like it could be a fantastic ol’ bungalow with some love!
Given the orientation it does not seem that the owner has flipped their lid, but I do wonder if they are a bit unhinged?
An extremely low buck version of the Cadillac Ranch?
Beat me to it!
These appear to be trunk lids from 2003-2005 Cavaliers. The ones with the “racoon” tail lights…
Perhaps they painted them and am letting them dry. The grass is not multicolored though so that probably is not the case.
It is obvious –
