This may be a shot in the dark, but I am wondering if a Land Cruiser I saw in suburban Detroit in the late '70's may still be around. We had a elderly neighbor in Birmingham, Michigan. Her last name was McVey. In her garage was a Land Cruiser owned by her sister who had passed years earlier. I believe the last time this car was out on the streets was in the 1960's. It was in storage.
Here are the specifics of the car. It was dark blue with suicide doors. It had an H-shift. The interior was a tan/gray fabric and was in very good condition. Some of the body panels had rust. I recall the quarter panels where they meet the headlights had holes in them. I did not look at the engine.
The woman died in 1980. The car may have been available for purchase circa 1980-82.
I was only a teenager back then and really did not have the resources or means of getting a car like that. I have wondered what happened to it over these years. Did it survive? If so, where is it? There is a good chance that it did not survive. But still, I wonder.
Does this car ring a bell with anyone on here? If anyone of you know of this car and its whereabouts, please let me know. You can either reply to this thread or contact me directly.
Thanks in advance!
