I do remember going up to Burleigh Super Shell and seeing the car along with a 68 King Kong' Barracuda. His wife drove a 69 Coronet R/T convertible that still shows up at some of the car shows around here.We would ride up there on our Schwinn 10 speeds and wait until they were closing so we could here them put away all of the cool cars.

Germantown, WI is the town straight west of me, and is about 15 minutes due NW of Milwaukee, WI. Where on Burleigh St. was this "Super Shell" gas station? Maybe the car is still parked out back.
