Car was originally sold from Del Mar Motors, Inc.
Chicago, Illinois
From there it made it to Missouri where it was restored in the early 70's. It was then driven to Portland, OR where it was driven on the weekends, then once a month, then not at all. When I obtained the car it had not ran in 15 years....always garaged though. I have been working on it to turn back the clock. It runs and moves but I still need to work on the brakes. I am now a proud member of the national LCOC.
