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

Is that the 65 that you put the LS engine in beside your 70 in that pic?

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.
