GREAT SURPRISE THIS MORNING!!!!!!!

Just got an email from the nephew of the original owner! I have been trying to get in contact with the family for the past year. Turns out that his aunt was the original owner of the car and even rumored to have raced it at a track that was located where the O’Hare International Airport is located today.

He sent me a picture that was taken of the car when it was NEW!!! The date on the picture of when it was developed is November 62. The leaves are green and this is in Chicago so it had to be the summer before November 62. You can’t see it in the posted picture but if blown up, the license plate has 62 on it. The white walls are wider than I expected but these are the 15 inch wheels also.

Just noticed something else, This picture shows a paper in the passenger side windshield, This paper is still taped in that exact spot!
