Transplant your pix of the PMD HQ and Engineering Bldg (895 Joslyn) to this page and how about any other NON-CAR pix that tell the history of Pontiac Motors. (how about the different renditions of Chief Pontiac in paper, steel, brass and chrome plated pot metal?)

Thanks

Fred A. Carleson, 1949.

Salt Lake City, Utah.

Here is a pic of a Salta Pontiac from Keith Seymore's "64 Pontiac display pic -too cool" thread in the Lobby. I'm assuming this is the same dealer.

Good idea. I went back and picked out a few more from that thread:

wow those are some awesome pics, any more ? :)

Keith, Maybe this is a little off subject, but the Royal/Fresard photos bring back some memories. I bought my 64 Corvette conv from the Fresard used car lot in March 1986. I still have it! I saw it advertised in Sunday Detroit News & went out to the used car lot to see the Vette. It was Sunday & they were closed & the Vette was nowhere in sight, then I looked through the overhead garage door in the building in your picture. The Vette was setting inside the garage stall. I returned on Monday & eventually closed the deal.

This is where my '63 Bonneville was purchased new. Woodson Pontiac, Roanoke VA.

Thanks, I fixed them with an edit.

I believe this dealer is in Oak Lawn Illinois at about 93rd St. and Cicero. This building is still there and is now called Haggerty Pontiac GMC Buick (soon to be just GMC Buick).

That dealership was actually located in Camden, NJ
on Admiral Wilson Blvd.
The building is still there, its now an Enterprise rental car agency

This was the Pontiac dealership in my home town of Palmer, MA - used to sell some hot cars, Judges & SD TA's included. Self storage and a tranny shop now. :rolleyes:

Not surprising there were two identical buildings/layouts. Some of these dealerships were built using the same plans from the same designer like the fast food joints, motels and just about every other franchise starting then and continuing to the present day.

Anyone have any pictures of Stan Chazen Pontiac, In Westwood, Califorina?

You are confusing Kole pontiac in Oak lawn with Dave Cole pontiac in Camden NJ

I've been looking on the HAMB site recently...some great shots in their Vintage Photo thread. I'll post a few from there and some other Australian ones I've found.

*Forgot to add that the Bob Longpre shot looks like it was taken from the opposite side of the yard, facing towards the front of the two 65's in the first post in this thread.

The last few are of Sydney N.S.W. Dealer, Stack and Co, that Roadster is/was RARE!!
What an awesome showroom display. Has anyone seen the movie Mr Smith goes to Washington? Did a 40 Roadster star in it?

My Dad remembers looking/drooling at brand new 63's at Stacks, a Bonnie and a GP.


*Just to clarify, that first pic is inside a US Dealers showroom, not Stacks.

Some more.

A couple more of Higgins Pontiac

Orr Pontiac on Mill Street in Springfield, MA took over the Pontiac name when Gary Center Pontiac closed in the late 80's. Orr didn't survive the last round of cuts and closed it's doors last year.

A couple more of Stack and Co...That PONTIAC sign is three stories high!!

Another old Aussie Dealership...Those Holdens are 48-215's...better known as FX. No details on the location of this one. The plates look like old Victorian plates though.

Incredible photos.Wish I could go back in time.

Anyone have any pictures from Johnny Johnson Pontiac 337-41 S Broad Street Philadelphia? I have tried every channel but no reply.My car was first sold there,Best Regards Peje.

San Fran Dealer
 

This is the dealership that our GTO was originally purchased.

Here is a link to some Canadian Pontiac dealers ( and some other brands)

(not sure if this has been posted before either)

Canadian Dealers

BOREK MOTOR SALES
 

Does anyone out there have pictures of BOREK Pontiac in Blue Island, IL on Western Avenue?

VAN WINKLE out of Dallas, Texas
They run a Swiss cheese race car back in the day!!
Think it is still alive and will somewhere.

Some more...:)

A couple of old Aussie ones...the first is circa 1932, an unknown dealership in Western Australia. Oakland, Pontiac, Vauxhall cars and GMC and British Bedford trucks.

The second is a dealer field show, maybe at a local showground? Taken at Benalla in central Victoria. I don't know the full details, maybe GMH organised for all the local products to go on display? I know they're getting a bit old and that last shot isn't even a Dealership as such, just thought it might be interesting.

One more. I can't make out the name on the side. Anyone have an idea?

That was a beautiful dealership for 1949.

I totally agree...I could live there! Looks like it is in a nice leafy neighbourhood too.:)

Do any of you all remember your dealerships building GTO's like this cause Byron Stout did it two or three different times...

That is so cool! Now is it black with orange stripes, or orange with black stripes?
I guess Byron Stout hadn't heard yet that the Tiger was finished?

Anyone know where this car is today? Any details on Byron Stout Pontiac fng69?

Orange with black stripes, I'm pretty sure on this. Always wondered if these helped in decideing to paint the 69 Judge that color.Byron Stout did this a few years. A club member is pretty sure a 65 he is restoring is one of these cars. Byron Stout owned his dealership from 1947 all the way throught to mid 70's. In 67 lots of dealers weren't happy with GM telling them to lose the TIGER!! The dealership is still in business today under name of Dovavon and sales Buick's Dang it...:usa2:
