Have you checked the census for that time period in Champaign?.

Be sure and check Rantoul,Champaign Co.,IL as there was and Erv SPRINGER that was a car salesman for the Ford Agency in 1965 as I purchased a new Ford from him........You might check that area also around Gifford, Penfield, Thomasboro, Flatville,IL.
