356 emerges from the depths

In the hot rod vernacular, going to the lakes usually means going to the dry lakebeds of the Southern California desert - El Mirage, Muroc, those sorts of places. Perhaps the long-lost ~~owner~~ ~~thief~~ driver of this Porsche 356 took the phrase literally and mistook Wisconsin for California (hey, it’s just as good a theory as any other). Whatever the reason for the Porsche’s submersion, we now have photographic evidence of what 38-plus years underwater will do to a Porsche 356. Compare that to what 30-plus years under the Rhine in Germany did to a Mercedes-Benz 230 SL, and begin the debate over which was the sturdier Teutonic auto (or which was the more polluted water source).
