The underground ballet.

There's a Ford dealership in Taylorville, Illinois that has something similar...except that they have two old Ford F-150s partially buried in the ground.

Nice catch!

Thanks!

My cousin used to live near there. (Taylorville is a small town about 90 miles north of St. Louis.) I took him over to his job there one day (he had moved there recently)...and the first time I saw that, I nearly lost it. This was about 6 or 7 years ago. And quite honestly, it's probably the most exciting thing in Taylorville...other than cruising Courthouse Square on the weekends. ;-)

do they dig them up every year to give them fresh undercoating?

(no, not them, the trucks!!)

Good question! They always looked nice and shiny when I saw them, so I'd imagine that they're touched up here and there. Not to mention, since they're partially underground, I would think that they'd have to be dug up occasionally to check for rust or structural damage.
