I think that sign is the one they put up when they moved from downtown to out on Cobb Parkway in Marietta. I don't remember the year, but it was sometime between 74 & 81. Back in day I drove back cars from the downtown location to our little town that they wholesaled to the dealer I worked for. I remember going in the basement and looking at the new 73's before the release. I hated the new 73 GTOs and Grand Prixs.

I've kept my mom's 70 all these years , I'll never forget when we picked it up at Boomershine September 1970 , 71s were already out it was a leftover , only option it had was p/s , guess that's why no one bought it ,I turned 16 November of 70 , took my license test in it. Mom passed in 1999 and I didn't know she had kept all the paperwork about the only thing I don't have is the window sticker , Mom and dad bought a Tiger Gold 65 in 1967 , we got hit head on by a drunk driver in early 70 , when the insurance paid she wanted another gold GTO, so she got the Granada gold 70

Yeah, my '66 is from Taber. They were only a few blocks away from each other back in the '60s as I recall..

This one is definitely Boomershine...Floor and ceiling light fixtures looks the same as the previous pic so I'm saying they are both B'shine..

Love to find a few of that style showroom light fixture to install from the tall ceiling in my building.
Picked up over a dozen 4ft 4 tube troffers & have converted several to LED, converting them to hanging fixtures has been a PITA, even 13' up, they look overpowering.

Are my eyes deceiving me or could someone drive a car through the showroom and then make a left turn and go down a flight of stairs? The diagonal hand railing on the wall on the right sure makes it look that way.
