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.

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.

I live in the city & I only did spot a white one one by Costco on Cumberland & North Ave in Melrose Park. It was parked next to mine. I took a picture too if anyone wants to take a look.
