State Street Motors Inc Sycamore, IL 507 Zone 11

Like many I received an NCRS shipping report on a 69 Z/28 with an obscure dealer that has gone out of business around 1984. Since it was conceived, and went out of business (1961-1984) pre-internet there is absolutely ZERO on it on Google or the internet. Extremely frustrated, I turned to Sycamore History Museum page on Facebook. Alas someone responded and said they had records of the State Street's existence on 1330 E State Street in Sycamore. They then directed me to the local paper's archive which was a treasure trove of old newspaper ads they posted back in the day.

My advise is if you cannot find info on your old dealer, see if the town has a Historical Society. I am elated at what I have found thus far. Next search, license plate frames and pictures of the old dealership. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

Without further adieu her are some great old newspaper ads the dealer place back in the day:
