Chicago C55 spotted
Parked in front of Subway at Loyola University on Sheridan road yesterday. Clean, black on black, with a flat hood badge. Anyone here?

They are a rare sight in Chicago. I very occasionally see a silver C55 driving north on IL-171 or 1st avenue in the Riverside / Brookfield area.

Mine is silver, hasn't been driven in 5 weeks. I plan on joining the super car saturdays group if the weather is nice. August 6th.

Mines Silver but I live in the NW burbs and don't often venture into Chicago.

Description perfectly fits me as I have a black/black 55 with flat badge and I never drive the car dirty and only on nice clear weather

I doubt it's me though as I also rarely go downtown.
