Wow..small world. I grew up in Rockford, my parents came from Freeport and Winnebago and my wife from Pecatonica. Obviously, I'm intimately familar with every place you mentioned.

Anyhow, as for the car..This one is definately Black. Since you know the area, the owner at that time worked at Sunstrands on Alpine and Newburg. I think one of the pics is from a cruise night in either Belvidere or S. Beloit. Unforetunately I dont have a scanner. The pics are old polariods so I'm not sure how they'd come out either.
