I was in Coquitlam for a funeral of my dear cousin who had been a firefighter for 32 years and they had this old Pontiac on display, sorry I did not get the plate but I did not want to snoop around in the car without authorization.Maybe somebody in Coquitlam can get that info??

That is a very nice example. Did anyone notice it has just one tailight?
If you check your Highway Traffic Acts in each province you may find that this is all that is leaglly required even to this day. In Ontario as long as one tail light of the car is in working order you comply. Just something to keep in mind if you are ever pulled over for a tailight out.
Lamps required on all motor vehicles except motorcycles
62. (1) When on a highway at any time from one-half hour before sunset to one-half hour after sunrise and at any other time when, due to insufficient light or unfavourable atmospheric conditions, persons and vehicles on the highway are not clearly discernible at a distance of 150 metres or less, every motor vehicle other than a motorcycle shall carry three lighted lamps in a conspicuous position, one on each side of the front of the vehicle which shall display a white or amber light only, and one on the rear of the vehicle which shall display a red light only. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 62 (1).
