This is all I can tell you....... Platte County Historical Society Museum’s 1914 Baby Grand 1914 Baby Grand #3370 Columbus, Nebraska Story by Tyler Ellyson, The Columbus Telegram Little is known about the early history of the antique car that sits inside the Platte County Historical Society Museum’s east building. Nobody seems to know who the vehicle’s original owner was or where it was purchased. Most of its history prior to the 1940s remains a mystery. The 1914 Chevrolet Baby Grand was donated to the museum in October 2001 by Jolaine Nielsen, whose father-in-law Ed Nielsen Sr. accepted the vehicle as a trade-in nearly six decades earlier.
