One of the lodge members advises me he believes LDW bought the auto at the Petit Jean Mountain auto demo inwards Arkansas from Glen Weeks from Illinois, it turns out Glen Weeks classic cars is inwards West Frankfort Ill! NO, this also may take maintain been a incorrect lead!
Remember the A/C repair sticker from West Frankfort?
Was the auto purchased inwards West Frankfort Ill? NO!
The auto is rattling original together with I believe LDW glued business office of the produce canvas to the inner fender together with I take maintain carefully removed it together with saved.

G inwards 1972 together with was a existent auto guy, they walked into Hunky-Lynch inwards 1974 together with bought this auto from the inventory together with the auto was cared for together with garaged, it is funny I believe they lived inwards a modular (trailer) home, but had a large garage!
John passed away inwards 1976 together with Dorothy did non take maintain a drivers license! This two yr erstwhile auto sat for awhile non beingness used inwards that garage until sis June pushed Dorothy to larn a drivers license together with thence the auto only saw brusk trips inside Sesser alone !
With no children all of Dorothy's possessions were willed to sis June thence the championship was inwards both names if 1 twenty-four threescore minutes catamenia this was needed.
Some fourth dimension inwards the 90's, 1992(?) a conclusion was made to sell the auto after about xviii or thence years together with it only reached mileage inwards the depression teens together with even thence looked similar new, instead of selling locally, an advertizing was placed inwards a collector publication which promptly establish a serious auto collector!
All Sue remembers is a rattling serious enclosed auto trailer showed upwardly similar the 1 higher upwardly together with the auto was hauled dorsum to a collection, when asked she did say it was possible at that topographic point was a Tennessee accent, Although it is a petty cloudy it appears that LDW of Dyersburg Tennessee was that homo who took the auto home!
