Bert had two sons, both of which are still living. If you are going to run a piece and talk about his background, it might be appropriate to mention both of his children, who were involved in the dealership until the mid 1990’s.
When the dealership was closed, only one son was still involved in the business. There was an article in the trib where Lee stated that he decided to close the business for an offer to sell the property, however, that has been proven false, as he never owned the property.
There are a lot of people in Chicago who have and spread false information regarding Bert Weinman and Bert Weinman Ford.
