I wrote to the address on my protect-o-plate back when I bought my '66 Grand Prix.
Got a nice letter back from the son of the original owner. The owner bought my car new in November 1965, owned it till 1996. The car was sold on his death. At the time his wife was alive and she in turn was a life time friend of the wife of the salesman who sold it new. He too had passed but I was staggered to also receive a letter from the salesman's wife saying how pleased everyone was to know the car was still in safe hands.
The only missing link that I can't find anything about is the 3 year period between 1996 and 1999 (when I bought it) although I know whoever owned it did a long trip across the top of the USA and then back to Oregon via Canada. I found a big wad of motel, petrol and food receipts still in the car.
Still got all that stuff in my files.
Good luck with your search
