PHS was my last resort - and came up with the delivering dealer for my '66 2+2.

None of the info online or in any of the GTO databases had the zone/dealer code, even the folks who print the window stickers.

Luckily, I found my Car Billing History replica, which had the Zone code for Northern California, but did not list the dealer (I will need to look up the number, might have been talking about it in this forum, even.) Called PHS as my last resort - turns out they had the information after all. Another piece of the puzzle found!

Turns out the dealer was Sehorn Cadillac-Pontiac in Mt. Shasta, CA. They looked like half the place was a Standard Oil (or whatever it was called in Cali) and the rest a dealership. There is a pic online from the late '40s, and a logo online from the day. Bet that big Pontiac flattened the mountains, but, the dry air and sun crumbled all the plastic and rubber

Apparently, one of the Sehorn offspring was a semi-famous basketball player. Do not think they were related to Rita Seehorn, from "Better Call Saul" / "Breaking Bad" LOL.

The 'Lotspeich' sign was throwing me a bit- there was a Lotspeich Motors Pontiac in Warrensburg MO, but I have no info on if it was an IH daler. Unusual name.

A better pic ~

Yeah I guess it changed from Todd Implement to Lotspeich-Bond in around 1968 in Ennis TX here at home. I met a old mechanic that runs his own garage in Ennis a long long time now and he worked there as a tech back in those days and he has some Pontiac Indian head metal signage in his shop from there !
