Hi Jim: I'm envious, that looks like an outstand and unmolested car - here's hoping it gives you much pleasure.

I note you're from Oswego, NY. My grandfather and his brother arrived in Oswego from Germany in the 1880s, my Dad was born there, and I've visited many times, both as a youngster and more recently - enough to say I know the city reasonably well. As a kid I sailed thru the barge canal locks several times, toured the old hydroelectric plant when it was still functional. My grandfather was a foundry worker - Fitzgibbons. Just two years ago I was there for a funeral and toured the maritime museum. I believe I still have some distant relatives there. The old family home was 241 East 7th.
