'52 Studabaker engine unearthed from To Kalon

After some effort, the discarded engine from a now lost 1952 Studabaker pickup was pulled from the To Kalon vineyard, well known for its high-value wine grapes, but less for rusted junkyard waste.

“The disc kept bouncing over something, so I sort of dug around,” said Jorge Ruiz, tractor operator. “And what do you know? Right in the middle of block 5 is this old V6.”

Representatives were quick to point out the superior benefits the rusted engine has given to the soils, such as iron content, microbial housing and luxuriant mouthfeel.
