Default Re: Brigance info looking for Mr.70

Todd, Mr. Ed left Brigance in June 1970 after he was hired as a sales manager at Fencl Tufo Chevrolet. I am not sure if he was in charge of hi-performance orders solely since the store had a new car manager, but the possibility could exist that he ordered the car for one of his customers before leaving the dealership. I would not count on him remembering a specific car as he sold hundreds during his tenure at Brigance.

As far as a close up of the postcard, in the second thread I posted there is a scan attached to a post on the bottom of the third page. Sometimes my third page is not your third page depending how you have your preferences set, so it is post # 51930 in that thread. Oh, and the dealership is long gone. Oak Park real estate is and continues to be a hot commodity.

Bruce,

IIRC, the Daily Herald is a conglomeration of local newspapers that encompasses many of Chicago's suburbs. There are different 'editions' of the paper depending on which area of the suburbs you might reside in. Don't know if it's a direct descendant of the Palatine Herald or not.
