That may be a Pontiac/Olds Dealer. |

I missed that big time having the GTO sitting there nose to nose. The 65ish Impala is closer size wise to a 64 Catalina. It make the 65 Tempest look small.

I agree with you on it being a 65 rather than a 66. It has an emblem on the header panel, 66 did not.

Looks like Motor Trend Car of the Year on the side of it, but did you see the big banner near the Firestone sign? 1965 Wide Track Pontiac Drive one today...quick! Love it.

Actually, this is a corner in Nashville, Georgia.
Possibly Jerry Kelley Pontiac Oldsmobile or some predecessor of that business, Jerry Kelley GMC now in nearby Adel, GA, I believe. Only a strip shopping center there now. https://www.google.com/maps/@31.2057...sy5bkF8ytQ!2e0 Checking out the structure housing the shops, looks like they may have remodeled the old showroom rather than completely tear it down.

Looks like the dealership name was Schwartz Pontiac-Oldsmobile in Nashville, Georgia as noted in the obituaries of a couple folks who worked there.

Owner Harry Schwartz in Nashville, GA.
Pic says circa late '50s. Note "F85 Tempest" in the window and the car down on the corner, looks like an early '60s to me. And the Mustang under the awning, has to be mid '64 or later. I'd bet this pic was taken by the same photographer moments before or after the one posted earlier. You can see a corner of the same "Schwartz" sign on the building in the first pic too. |

Ditto that. And the tall block building that was attached to it is gone. But if you "walk" down to the corner where that building was, you see the steel beams that extend out of the shopping center building. They look reminiscent of dealership building structures from that era to me. The façade along the street is completely changed. But I still think they may have kept the original structural steel and remodeled from there.
No matter, it definitely is no longer configured like a car dealership now. |

I thought the state shape looked like Missouri, and was able to find convergance of MO highways 76, 125 and 168 near Springfield. Kind of an interesting coincidence. K

Never noticed that lower front air-dam before..or just what is that? Looks kind of airbrushed in that area. Interesting twin stripe tires also.

I still have the original spare from the '71 GP I owned- a twin stripe.
If one white stripe is classy, two must be even classier!
