Default Jack Douglass Archeology???

Living in Hinsdale,Il.......home of the now famous Jack Douglass Chevy....I have always felt somehow special. In my daily travels, I pass the JD location every day which is now a Continental Motors location selling Ferarri and Maserati. For several months the dealer has undergone a complete facelift with a new showroom being grafted onto the old barracks style building. Yesterday while driving by I caught sight of a blue bowtie behind a sheet of construction plastic blowing in the wind. After testing my antilock and almost causing an accident, I was able to get a picture of a remnant of the old JD signage(I believe) behind the Ferarri fascade. I have got the sales manager and condtruction manager on the lookout for more *JD* stuff.

I was thinking that exact same thing when I posted. I pictured him seeing the post and throwing the keyboard on the floor and making a mad dash to his car. I'd bet almost anything he has been there and knows every worker by name.
