The Chatillon Car Graveyard, An Eerie Collection of Vintage Cars Abandoned in a Belgian Forest

The Chatillon Car Graveyard is a neatly arranged collection of vintage cars abandoned in the woods near Chatillon, Belgium. The cars, originally some 500 in number, were supposedly left there by American soldiers who were stationed in Belgium after World War II. When the soldiers returned to the United States, they were unable to ship the cars, so they left them neatly parked in the woods.

Over the years, the cars have dwindled due to cleanup efforts and scavenging collectors. For more photos, see these photo sets by Theo van Vliet, Rosanne de Lange, Marcel Wiegerinck, and Stefaan Beernaert.
