If you thought your year was going bad, this neighborhood in South Dakota might have you beat.

Twelve houses in a South Dakota neighborhood are unlivable after a sinkhole started to open up back in April, and while many questions remain about how and why this abandoned mine collapsed, the biggest mystery is how a classic car got in there. After the collapse caused the evacuation of a dozen homes in the Hideaway Hills neighborhood, a team of six cave explorers from Paha Sapa Grotto were sent in to map out the massive underground labyrinth.

That's when what appears to be a Ford Crestline Sunliner was discovered wedged between large boulders and the roof of the former mine. If it is in fact a Ford Crestline, these cars were only built for three model years (1952 through 1954) before being replaced by the Fairlane.
