I have a Majestic Pontiac Dealership Postcard. One of my favorites.

Here are three kinds of tigers. We have two!

Who knows the one I'm talking about??

My 1969 Firebird 400 was also from Majestic Pontiac. Over the years, I found many pictures of the dealership sign, lots of window sticker/invoices from Majestic, and a license plate frame, but I never found a dealer sticker or emblem.

Thanks! Very cool piece of literature.

Jim, was the area that Majestic Pontiac was in ever a good area? I thought the Watts Riots were pretty widespread (1965) and I know the rioters roamed the streets for several blocks in all directions, but I wasn't sure if they infiltrated the neighborhoods around where that Pontiac dealer was, or did the area start to turn sour in the 1970's?

At one time the Crenshaw shopping district in Liemert Park ( these were areas of the city of L.A. that had names like where I grew up in Westchester, others you may have heard of would be Venice, Hollywood, North Hollywood, Paya del Rey, San Pedro, Mar Vista, Palasades, Wilmington, Carson, Watts etc. just to name a few) Anyroad at one time Liemert park was a nice upper middle class neighborhood. My uncle had a house not far from Majestic Pontiac, but as blight/crime spread from the inner city in all directions Liemert park fell into or became a poverty area. My parents house in Westchester was about 30 minutes on a good day away. The Crenshaw shopping district shopping center was where us white kids would sometimes go on a Friday night to look for street races. One of the famous street racers from that area was a guy some of you all have heard of called Big Willie. Later in the early 90's Big Willie was the guy who did most of the organizing with the city of L.A. to open up Brotherhood Raceway Park in the L.A. Port terminal area. My company donated several pre- production vehicles for use of the facility to use. I liked it cause I got to run for free. This track, along with L.A.C.R. is where some of us guys who belonged to a GTO club called Southern California Gathering of Goats used to run.
BTW: the last time I know of seeing the Majestic sign was in the movie "White Men Can't Jump" . It's a night shot and their driving north down Crenshaw Blvd. That will give you a idea of how badly a nice area has gone to ruin.
