Naperville, Illinois

My daughter passed this 230 SL in Naperville a few days ago and snapped this pic.  A few rust issues evident. Anyone here?

Hi Ralph,
I don't live too far from there (when thinking on a global scale), but I've never seen that one.
Take care,
Mark

Today I received these photos from my son-in-law in Naperville.  He was with my daughter when she snapped the picture of this 230SL in late April.  Today he saw this car being loaded on a car carrier in Naperville and stopped and talked to the truck driver.  The driver told him the car was going to a New Jersey port for onward shipment to the south of France.

Timing is everything.
I guess it is OK for cars to travel.  ;D
