Might help to know in which part of northern IL you are looking & how far you are willing to travel.

 

Hermann's storage in Hampshire IL is a fairly good place.

I am in Geneva Il but would like to keep the car within 15 miles.

Do you know any widows or other older single people?

One of our members rents the spare bay of a 2-car garage

from an elderly neighbor for $25 a month.

 

Another method:  I worked out an arrangement with a local

business that had unused warehouse space.  Now, several of

our club members rent space in the warehouse for a reasonable price,

benefiting the business and the car owners.

 

Of course, ads in your local newspaper, "shopper" paper,

or local electric Craig's List are good sources.  Consider placing

a want-ad in one of those places.  You may reach

a lot more local people there than on our world-wide AACA Forum!

I had a complete 1933 Essex-Terraplane 8 chassis back when Driving Miss Daisy was playing at the movies. It was going to become my Railton knock off. Mr. Bell, the owner of Miss Daisy's Hudson owned a Railton and offered to let me make a pattern. Something happened and I considered long term storage. That was when I realized that if it ever left my garage it wouldn't come back. I sold it and moved on to the happy life with too many cars I experience today. Long term storage is a crumby option.

If you get up against the wall and run out of time, certain u-store-it places will rent you a 10 x 20 space.  Not ideal (you can barely get into your car) but will at least get your car under cover until you find more permanent storage.

I keep a two cars in a 40 Ft shipping container for winter storage.  Works great.

Well, that rules out Hampshire.  BUT, I know the greater Geneva-St Charles area has quite a few self-storage places that would work, at least temporarily while you locate a more permanent solution.  Sorry I wasn't able to help more.

Here in Pennsylvania, the self-storage complexes are

considerably more expensive than finding a garage space to rent--

$100 or $125 per month, versus $50 to $75.

But they could suffice until you found a space for the long term.

Thank you all so much for the responses I do really appreciate them. I have come to a very hard and very sad decision as I am going to be selling the 68 Barracuda
