What about the 64 Catalina wagon?

That was my first thought when I looked at it, but I don't think so...
'64 Cat has a wider wedge down the center of the hood... so then i thought '63 Cat... but then I realized that the wipers aren't right. The full size Pontiacs wipers both pivot from the outside. So I have no idea what it is.

What's that Roadster? Austin Healey?
The wagon looks a little too squared off across the front to be a Pontiac?

MGA. Looks like a Sunbeam on the top left.

I call 65 Comet on the wagon.

63 Galaxy in upper right.

Could be right. It's way too small to be a B-body GM. Also you can almost see the "Comet" badge on the front left of the hood.

I based that on the stacked headlights, wiper placement, hood peak, windshield shape and what may be trim along the sides, stopping just behind headlights. They also came with roof racks.
Plus, I owned one 40 years ago.
I say the 65 is a Tempest because of similar placed high body side trim.
The GTO looks to have a 66 dash pad.
The Galaxie was almost as easy as the GTO.
66 Impala in front of the 65 Pontiac.

Im not sure that just an Olds overflow lot. The Pontiac has Pontiac signs on it as does the building to the far right.

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.

2 speed wipers pivot from the outside.

Single speed wipers pivot traditionally.

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

Somewhere in Missouri (near Springfield).

I like that 1965 Olds dealer photo.

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.

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.

Its unrecognizable as a dealer now.

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.

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.
