Pictured: Steve Grobl with his most recent automotive acquisition.

A real estate axiom: Retain important documents.
If you saved post cards one, two and three you have the clues that could help answer the questions first posed on those cards and now repeated below.

1. This convertible, sporting its original handmade White Ash and Honduran Mahogany wood body was purchased in what Illinois city or town?

2. Today only 35 of these limited production automobiles are known to have survived. What make, model and year is this automotive classic?

3. Amazingly this car has spent its entire lifetime in Illinois. The first owner purchased the car new for his wife. The second owner purchased the car in 1981. 1 purchased this car on December 4, 1999. What is your best guess as to the mileage, certified by the DuPage County Sheriff, on the VIN form.

The contest winners will give the name of the city or town where the car was purchased, the best vehicle identification and the closest estimation, in miles, of the certified odometer reading.
