Hi Ron, Since you know the history of the car since 1959-60, you are then looking for the original owner and possibly another one before your family took ownership. I'd suggest that you carefully look through all your family records for the name of the person you bought the car from. Did your family take out a loan? Is that bank still open? Would there be a dusty piece of paper with a bill of sale somewhere? Or an old registration card in the glove box? We were researching fuel injected 300Ds some years ago and were amazed at what people kept in the gloveboxes. If you have no luck there, perhaps you know in which state your family bought the car. Depending upon the state in this post 9/11 world, you might be able to talk with the local DMV in person with your title in hand and ask them if they have a history of your car. I know we were able to do this in MD at one time, but all the old records have been shipped somewhere for "safe keeping". (That's government speak for - go away and don't bother us.) About the only thing Gil Cunningham can discern about your car's history are the options it came with and the date and location and name of the dealer who took possession of it when it left the factory. Not many of those dealers are still around, but it should point you to a state of origin at least. You're lucky in that you know most of your D's history - more than most. Let us know how your search goes.
