I purchased the 1954 restoration project 10 months ago. 48 years ago the car was parked in the side yard of a house in 1965, over the next 23 years the woods grew up around the pair of 54 vettes. In 1988 the cars were rescued and removed, In March of 1988 one of the cars was purchased by my buddy Tony. Tony started the restoration and parked the car 9 years ago. In 1995 Tony did the title research by mail with the state of Florida and you need to remember the Internet was not really far along back then. I just received the title information from Tony on Friday 23 and have come to find out the original owner of the 1954 Corvette bought it new on May 10th 1954 in Cicero, Il
That owner would turn out to be Clarice Accardo the wife of Tony " Joe Batters " Accardo. If you haven't ever heard the name before, Google it!

I think he means pic of the 54 Corvette . You may want to look out over your back side there may be a Family member who would want his car back . You know what they did back in his day to anyone who had something that they wanted . Just keep an eye open
