Vicky asked:


My grandfather worked as a car salesman in the 1950s at FOHRMAN MOTORS of Chicago. They sold new Hudson cars and used cars (auto museum site says Studebaker, but he disagrees).

A man came in to get his car fixed for X amount of dollars in their service department. He came to pick it up and they clearly “bushwhacked” him for more, he calmly demanded they give the car to him, and they still refused to give him the car for the $X promised to fix it.

He came back later and went on a shooting spree, killed at least 4 people, then turned the gun on himself. The dealership closed soon after for good.

I cant find ANY reference of this at all, and nobody in Chicago government knows who to put me in contact with to find out. The Chicago Tribune wants $20 to search newspapers that dont go back that far, or might not have that date, of which I am not sure anyways.

It was after Oct 1958, as there was a Time magazine article quoting a salesman
(at http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,825543-2,00.html ) so the place was still open.

There are some racial details, but not important to the story. Thats my only other clue.
