 It was sold there and lived there all its life untill I got it. My 65 Catalina I had was bought at a dealership in Winterset Iowa. I have the leather key holder still somewhere. I'll never get rid of it.

Heres mine.My car had body and new paint (poorly)in the mid 80s and the guys didn't put the dealer emblem back on.I found the dealer and he gave me one he still had.So when we did the correct resto I put it back on,maybe in the wrong place.
Built in KC.My parents bought it new,I was only a couple weeks old |

My 66 GTO was bought new (by my parents) at Bud Meadows Pontiac in Seattle. There was no emblem on the car, but it did have the license plate frame. I recently found one and re-installed it. I also found a Meadows emblem on a 67 GP parts car I had, but I am not going to install it on my car.
My 67 Executive wagon was sold at Young Pontiac in Mineral Wells, Texas. The dealer emblem is still on the car and in very good condition. My 73 Formula was sold at Executive Pontiac in Missoula, Montana. I would love to find a license plate frame from them. My 74 GTO was sold by Mecham Pontiac in Phoenix. Again, I would love to find a license plate frame from there. I also have an emblem from Quality Pontiac in Albequerque, NM. This came off of a 66 LeMans I parted several years ago. The mounting tabs broke off when it was removed, but if anyone has a car from there, it is available (I don't know why it looks purple in the picture).... Importsmasher

My car in front of what was Messener Pontiac in Sutersville,Pa. Small dealership, there were four employees. The owner Tom Messener, his secretary, one mechanic and a mechanic/lot boy. Show room held one car, I don't think a full Pontiac would of fit in it.
In the second picture on the side is the big door I drove my car out of on May 22, 1976. The shot from inside my car, is what use to be Jack Roley Pontiac in Belle Vernon,Pa. My Dad bought all his cars (Pontiacs of course) here.

Mine came from Taylor Pontiac in Chatanooga per the original title. No luck in getting a license plate tag, they must have been too busy, but I did get on their email junk mail list for about 3 yers.

My car was sold from Ted Rapp Pontiac in Camden NJ. It had a dealership tag on it cause it still has the two holes on the trunk lid where it used to be, but it wasn't on it when I got the car. Anyone got any from Ted Rapp pontiac please let me know if you are willing to part with it.

If not I would leave it original. I have heard of people haivng theirs copied for restored cars. I dont know....I wouldnt touch that one period! Its so unique. I dont think I have ever seen another like that one and I collect these. Jeff The car is restored, and I may just stick it on my car show info board. I agree, I have not seen another from this era, it's definitely unique! |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
