Entirely likely holmes. On Easter Island, quarries were discovered with half built statues, tools scattered about their base.
Maybe a hundred years from, archaeologists (all seven of them) will discover a ford assembly plant with partially built 'Excursions' and 'Expeditions' partway down the assembly line. Frozen in time, never reaching the great interstate highway system.
