Re: [FWDLK] 1960 Forward Look Chryslers

Flookers,
I have waited to the very last moment, but here is the situation: I am
headed tfor Sacramento tonight. I will be there a week, helping Mom pack up
for her move to Seattle with me. Someone on the List posted an ad they
saw...it was a 60 Plymouth wagon for sale  in Williams, CA.  I even Emailed
them and was able to verify its existence. Does anybody still have that
lead? Williams is a small town, but any help would be very useful!    Roger
in Seattle
