I remember going downstairs and peeking at the new model cars before they would show them to the public.

Yeah, I meant to mention that the sign was taken out back of the Marietta dealership...but it's the old sign from the original downtown location. That's why I took the pic.
In fact, I don't think they even called it Boomershine when it was in Marietta did they?

Actually it stayed as Boomershine for several years. They used to sponsor some local POCI shows in Atlanta when we had a chapter there. That would have been in the early 80's. I don't remember when it changed over to Marietta GMC Pontiac. That was the name when I was working at the GMC store in Gainesville. I used to do a lot of dealer trades with them.

BTW, didn't you say your 66 came from Taber? If so, PM me your mailing address and I'll send you something interesting you might like to have for your car.
