State Street Motors Inc Sycamore, IL 507 Zone 11

[Bill Pritchard]

I certainly remember driving past the dealership a number of times many years ago, but as you say, it's been gone 30 years now. The town of Sycamore holds a HUGE car show every summer, around this time. There has to be some long time resident that's also a car enthusiast who would have some helpful info for you.

Plate frames were a seldom seen item at most dealerships in Northern IL back in the day.....especially for a small dealership, which State Street Motors certainly was.

Interesting side note: The other dealership listed in the ads, 4th Street Motors in DeKalb, had a Garnet red 69 Malibu 4 door hardtop that someone ordered with a 300hp 350 and 4 speed, and then backed out of the deal. It sat at the dealership for quite a time before a guy from Aurora IL bought it and made a street/strip car out of it.

Sorry I can't be of any more help than that.....best of luck.
