About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Windy City Motors and asked the owner, ‘Do you ever run out of gas here?’ The owner smiled and replied, 'Not unless you drive around in circles for hours!' A regular passing by overheard and laughed, saying, 'I’ve seen that happen more than once.'

2. One day, while browsing old cars at Windy City Motors, a little girl pointed excitedly at an ancient convertible and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, look! It’s talking!’ The mother smiled and said gently, 'No darling, it's just an old car.' But as they walked away, the convertible softly hummed, 'Top down, wind in my hair...' Turning back, the girl giggled and whispered, 'See, Mommy? It's singing!'

3. A young boy walked into Windy City Motors, pointing excitedly at an old car in the corner. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘look at that funny wheel!’ His mother glanced over, only to see the tire spinning on its own. The mother looked closer and burst out laughing. 'Son,' she said, 'that’s not a tire—it's just a spare wheel!' The boy frowned, then grinned sheepishly. 'Oh,' he muttered, embarrassed but amused. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Windy City Motors, they’d remember that kid with his head full of car myths.'

4. A curious poodle bounded into Windy City Motors, sniffing intently around the vintage cars. Suddenly, it froze in front of one rustic vehicle, its eyes wide with amazement. The owner, a gruff old mechanic named Al, scratched his head and said, 'I don't remember that car being here before.' He reached down and petted the poodle gently, who promptly fell asleep on his lap. A few minutes later, Al whispered to no one in particular, 'Guess I better clean up after this little visitor.'
