Denny Hastert's car is inside the Belvidere Oasis

A couple of weeks ago I was down there to replace my Ipass, and there it was, sitting among the fast food and chachka kiosks. There was a sign identifying it as belonging to him – a 1948 Lincoln Zephyr IIRC. At first I thought it was a sweepstakes prize on display, but no, it was just sitting there.

Perhaps, if you’re a vintage car collector, this will be up for sale soon! I hear the owner is in some distress.

I wonder if it’s still there. I might drive over and see it. Yeah, another Illinois politician in trouble. Who would have guessed?

What in the world is in his past that’s worth that much money?

I dunno. I heard from the news reports that he only managed to sneak-withdraw less than 1.5 million of the 3.5 million he was going to pay out to his blackmailer, so he probably still has a couple million in the bank and nothing to spend it on. :smack:

If it was a 1938-1940 Zephyr coupe, I’d fly out there.

Find a little Pat Travers for the radio…

My daddy said Son you’re gonna drive me to drinkin’
if you don’t quit driving that hot rod Lincoln

Found some pictures, it was apparently up for sale at some time in the past.

Even his taste in antique cars sucks, apparently.

I dunno, I got the impression from his current difficulties that sucking may be one thing he’s good at.
