I was just wondering where everybody's cars were bough new, and if they had the dealer tags still (the piece that was usually on the decklid or tail panel). I'll start off, mine was from Bill McDavid Pontiac in Fort Worth Texas, and it has an emblem in the shape of Texas with "Bill McDavid" on it. Who else? Anyone know if Bill McDavid dealers are still around? A quick Google search revealed a David McDavid, which was his brother it seems.

I ordered mine from Messener Pontiac. I didn't want a dealer tag stuck on it, so it doesn't have one. There is a little sticker on the inside of the glove box door.

My Bonneville was bought at Triangle Pontiac. Pics attached.

My 1975 455T/A was originally shipped to Knopf Pontiac on Lehigh Street
in Allentown PA.

It was dealer stock and supposedly it sat in the show room according to the
second owner. It had a Ranken Easton PA dealer tag on the rear spoiler,
So I wonder if it was transfered to another dealer for the sale or it was traded
in at the other dealer. PHS showed it was delivered in July 75 and not invoiced
untill August 75.

I'd love to know who had it originally, I bought it from the second owner,
I rember his name was Shawn Afflerbach of Coplay PA. He said it was bought for him
as a graduation gift and his parents got it from a guy in Easton, PA
I rembered seeing the car all over when I was in High School, I never thought
I would end up with it. I wish I had taken photos of it back then.

I found an old Trans Am club of America 1st place dash plaque under the console
and the coolest thing I found in it was a 1975 GM paper coffee cup stuck to the floor pans under the carpet.

If anyone in the Allentown PA area knows or rembers the car I'd love to hear from you.
Also if anyone has any Knopf Pontiac Lisc Plates or Deck lid tags I'd love to have one.
Even a photo of a knopf decal would be cool. They used to have a cartoon dog's
face with the words "drive happy" under it.

Im my area they did not put on dealer tags/emblems onto the car, but they did have license plate frames.

My '64 was originally sold by Pittman Pontiac in Antioch, IL. No clue if it ever had a dealer tag on it - when I purchased the car in 1992 it was in gray primer and basically needed a total restoration.

If I could find an early 60's vintage Mesaba Motors dealer tag from Hibbing, MN, I'd put it on my car. My Dad was selling GTO's (and other fine Pontiacs) there from 1963 - 1982.

[Greg Reid]

Both of my GTOs were sold right here in downtown Atlanta. The '68 at Boomershine Pontiac on Peachtree Street and the '66 at Taber Pontiac one block west on Spring Street. Don't have the tags for either.
I have a '78 Bonneville that came from Shelton Pontiac in Paducah, Kentucky and it does have the dealer's emblem on the trunk.

[ponyakr]

ordered from Twin City Pontiac in monroe, La while the judge was only available in 1 color. they are long gone.

[David Jones]

Mine was a Boomershine baby also.........

[Verdoro 68]

Mine was from Leo Jarnagin Pontiac in Fort Worth. It had the dealer tag on it when I bought it in 1991, but I removed it when I repainted the car in '93. I've lost track of what happened to the tag, but it's around somewhere at my dad's. It had a yellow bee with the tagline "Honey of a deal". The dealership is long gone. Last I checked there was a Borders in it's place, but I'm sure that's gone now.

I bought the car in Denton which was only a few miles from Ft. Worth. I always thought it was cool that my car was built in Arlington, sold in Ft. Worth lived it's life in a 50 mile radius until I brought it with me out to California.

I believe McDavid is still around and sells Hondas and Acuras. Not sure of the difference between Bill and David, but I remember David McDavid from when I was a kid. They had a ton of commercial in the '70s and '80s featuring the dog "Wide Track" who I think was a great dane. They used to finish the commercials with the pitchman saying "Right, Wide Track?" and the dog would bark.

I grew up in the DFW area and would drive by the dealership on occasion. Their dealership sign and tags were pretty memorable to me. I see the tags on occasion out here in California.

I have the PHS for my 67 but no dealer can be identified, wish someone could point me in the right direction as to its original place of sale. Born at the Pontiac, Michigan plant though and only assume it was sold locally where I live seeing that I have owned it forever (36 years) near the same town where I bought it.

Mine was sold new at Alexander Motors in Superior Nebraska. I checked the web,and they are still in business. Car has been repainted,so no idea if it had a dealer logo. None on it now.

Mine was sold new at Boomershine in Atlanta. Still has the original dealer plate installed and mostly original paint. However, over the years Boomershine became Boomershin.
