Greetings, I'm looking for a suitable 501(c)(3) organization that would be willing to provide a good home for a rare passenger car. The car is a lightweight Chicago & Northwestern Lunch counter car. It needs a restoration, and would need to be trucked out of its current location. Please contact me directly for more details if you're interested. Thanks, Gerry |

Gerry, It will probably help your cause to add a few more details. First of all, where is the car located? Transportation costs are often a deciding factor. I see you're in Omaha, but that doesn't mean the car is... Could be, but maybe not. Secondly, can you give a rough idea of the condition? You say "needs restoration", that's a start. But generally speaking, what's left of the car? Has the interior been stripped? Walls and partitions, intact or gone? Does the car have trucks? There's a lot of latitude in "needs restoration", from just tired but pretty much intact to a "tunneled" hulk that used to be a passenger car. |
