Default dealer bumper sticker

I got my original rear bumper out of storage for the first time in years. It looks like the rust-through's from the exhaust have made it scrap. However, I forgot that there was a dealer sticker on it. Does the name sound familiar to anyone? TIA for any info.

Thanks, Bill. I know that the original HO engine had been 'cleaned up' (.010 over) and re-ringed at some point. Sounds like dealer service. The car spent most of its life in the Twin Cities, even though it was invoiced from the Baltimore plant to Union Pontiac in Wilmington, Delaware.

Hansord was the big time Pontiac dealership here for many years. They were originally at 13th and Hennepin Avenue, but by the time your car was built they had a new building at Washington Avenue and Hennepin Avenue. It eventually became a Jaguar/Land Rover dealership and dropped the Hansord name, and ultimately they moved out to the suburbs about a decade ago. The downtown building was demolished and replaced with a Whole Foods store.

Thanks, Stuart. Looks like a pad for a new sign in the fore-ground.
