You’ve been warned: Trash crews will start clearing streets of objects used as “dibs” for parking spots Tuesday.
Crews will pick up unclaimed items along their daily garbage collection routes with special attention given to address 311 complaints, the Department of Streets and Sanitation said today.
“Dibs” is a controversial practice popular in Chicago in which motorists claim parking spots cleared of snow. The practice has led to confrontations between neighbors, including an Andersonville man who found his car window smashed with a “dibs” chair earlier in February.
Dunn purchased the car around 1995 and in the early 2000s performed a total rotisserie restoration on the vintage Packard with Bob Wingate, Frank Stafford wrote.
Soon after the restoration, an invitation was extended to enter the Packard in the Hilton Head Island Concourse de Elegance.
The car was awarded the Antique Automobile Club of America Senior National First Prize Winner in 2003.
The Packard was restored to original appearance and retains earlier era touches like a six-volt electrical system and vacuum motor-powered windshield wipers.
Pamela Stafford appreciates the classic lines of the car and huge backseat.
The Staffords live in southwest Marion County and are members of the Ocala-Kingdom of the Sun Chapter of the Antique Automobile Club of America, a group focused on vehicles 25 years old or older for judged events.
