Dunno... right color I guess, s, but looks pretty shi**y as a planter. Maybe if the grille, headlight rings and the bonnet had been left on, but trimmed out for the plants, and a bed with a border around the perimeter, it might resemble a deliberate attempt. Otherwise, just looks like an abandoned car with some weeds growing through it.
...they just become planters!
I saw this poor RWA Midget this week while on a business trip to Lawrence, KS (it's in front of the Clinton Parkway Nursery). It's pretty rusty, so what better use than as a flower pot?

My best guess is that over time someone has taken the grille and chrome bits, but who knows? The picture I posted was tight to the car.....it actually is in the middle of a bunch of flowers, although they aren't in full bloom. It would be better with the car being bordered with flowers though.....you're right in that one. Here's a different angle:

To me, it's a waste of some decent RWA rear fenders. They could be fitted to a square fender car to allow a little bigger tire.
I'm sure the bottom of the tub is junk but I see decent front fenders, a windshield, maybe some useable front and rear suspension parts, rear axle, springs, etc. Might even have a decent head and grind-able crankshaft.
I wouldn't pay much for it, but I'd be happy to take it as is just for the spares it would yield.
If a car is to be tuned into a planter, I'd rather see it happen to a Hyundai, a Dodge K car or some such similar piece of c__p.
When I was a kid someone in Mantoloking (very, very nice area at the Jersey Shore) used a Willys MB Jeep as a planter in their very nice front lawn. That thing was a real landmark and was there for over 30 years. About 10 years ago, it was removed. I hope it came to a good end.
