Finding original owner

Start with the person you bought the car from.Do they remember where they bought it from?Do you have the original owners manual?Sometimes the original owners name is in the back.Do you have any idea where it sold new,town or Dealership?Do you have any kind of paper work with past owners names on it?
I have found the original owner to all three of my Mopars.I found the original owner of my GTS last Oct.After talking to a past owner I knew what town it was from in the 80's.I started there I looked for two years with no luck.I made some flyers passed them out at local car shows and got a few leads.I finally got the car on the road and took it to a small car show in the town where I was told it was from.After 45 minutes I ran into three different people who remembered the car.One of them knew the original owner and gave me his name and phone number.
