Greetings,

I'm looking for a suitable 501(c)(3) organization that would be willing to provide a good home for a rare passenger car. The car is a lightweight Chicago & Northwestern Lunch counter car. It needs a restoration, and would need to be trucked out of its current location. Please contact me directly for more details if you're interested.

Thanks,
Gerry

Gerry,

It will probably help your cause to add a few more details.

First of all, where is the car located? Transportation costs are often a deciding factor. I see you're in Omaha, but that doesn't mean the car is... Could be, but maybe not.

Secondly, can you give a rough idea of the condition? You say "needs restoration", that's a start. But generally speaking, what's left of the car? Has the interior been stripped? Walls and partitions, intact or gone? Does the car have trucks? There's a lot of latitude in "needs restoration", from just tired but pretty much intact to a "tunneled" hulk that used to be a passenger car.
