I wonder if Pontiac had to pay PURE for the rights to that name too, PURE was using it long before 1967.

That '59 Caddy....awesome. Amazing how styles have changed. Can you imagine that being a new design today?

Yeah, imagine Cadillac picking the most iconic old model to go retro with! It would have to be the '59.

It looked like an old dealership and the sign was in perfect condition- the owners clearly took pride in it. Doubt they would sell. It was in Norwell, MA if you want to try to track them down.

Awesome!

Maybe I should watch that again today... the snow is falling here today.
Bet it was staged. Says city of Toronto archives in lower left corner. They were featuring the "artistic" city street lamp.

That’s Jim Kennedy’s Fireball Roberts 62 Grand Prix, parked at the Vinsetta Garage on Woodward.

He’s a regular at our Saturday morning cars and coffee. I’ve actually picked him up when he ran that car out of gas (aka "Poncho not at the pump")
