Thats it....I'm puttin' the JW's back on the HO...(sans trim rings)
Allow me to use my Hillbilly logic , I read at the bottom of the brochure that read BF Goodrich Canada, LTD. I'm guessing a large city in Ontario? or other major thoroughfare in Canada close to the Goodrich headquarters. If I spoke french I might hazard a guess at the signage on the building in the background.

Almost would have said Montreal Forum in Quebec. But not sure the glass panes are the right size, the inside light is confusing.

I was thinking the rims were Minilites, but I don't remember for sure.

yes, they were Minilites. I had the article on the one Tirebird that became a canary yellow 454 car and it still had the Minilites with it when the guy bought it in the early 80's.

What was that one used for? LS6? Doesn't look like the one with racing stripes that is for sale? Confused now...

The guy that had it several years ago had a posting on Yenko.net with the full story of the street Tire Bird with the LS6. Here are a couple links to the discovery and the ownership by a member there:
