Currently restoring a 68 Camaro that was delivered to Perth Motors Ltd located in Stratford, Ontario Canada (GM and NCRS confirmed) and have been collecting historical information and pictures of the dealership to complement my restoration. I would like to connect with former employees or with others who have cars from this dealership. I know there is a car club in Stratford but do not have any contact information. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I worked at Stratford Motor products for a couple of years. I believe some of the staff worked at Perth motors back in the day. I'll contact a friend of mine who I worked with and see if he knows who and if they can be contacted.
Thanks for reaching out to see if they can be contacted. I am specifically interested to learn more about the dealership and its connection with hi-performance cars that were sold directly and indirectly through the dealership into the local region. My research has discovered that there were Camaros, Chevelles, Novas and possibly Beaumonts. It has also been brought to my attention that there was a well known local drag racer or drag racers back in the day, either in the Stratford or in the southern region of Ontario that may have been affiliated with these cars. Trying to locate previous or current owners of these cars is presenting a challenge as time goes on.
Any leads and information would be greatly appreciated.

Stratford Motor Products campaigned some successfull drag cars including this Corvette. Canadian Al Billes was the driver
Very nice.....
I am still actively searching for drag racers who were affiliated with Perth Motors Ltd in the mid to late 60s under the ownership of B.J. (BO.) Sibold.
I am sure there are other Hi-Performance cars still out there that were sold or sponsored through Perth Motors back in the day. Would like to connect with others who own these vehicles. Still actively searching for historical information as well.
Thanks!
