Just a rule clarification, can you Google search for clues (not reverse image obviously) or do you have to narrow it down with yes/no answers?

You can (and most do) search Google in every way, except for reverse image searching. Masters of Boolean also search Bing and Yahoo!

Happy sleuthing!  :)

Well in that case, I found a newspaper clipping from some small town paper advertising a contest to sell subscriptions to the St. Lawrence Plaindealer. Winner would get a 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne. The car was displayed at Mace Motors.

Did the contest happen in 1958 (when the car was brand new) or later (older model year car as prize)?

Got it! That car was the first prize for the Golden North Salmon Derby fishing contest in Alaska. The contest still happens, but it doesn't look like they give out cars anymore.
