Since 1971 it has been the home of Jim Fresard Pontiac until a couple of years ago when they moved into Ferndale on Woodward Ave. between 8 and 9 Mile Rd. leaving the old building and property to developers.
The original home of Ace Wilson's Royal Pontiac, 1958 - 1962 still stands as Autometrics Body shop at 818 North Main St. Later the building became home of a AMC dealer.
Controversy over the use of the property.... http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/region/...en-a-new-store |
Eric - I had the GTO out (early!) this morning and took some pictures of it at 400 N Main. I'll post 'em up as soon as I can.
