May/June 2009 Pontiac Enthusiast Magazine - looking for a copy


My convertible is on page 76 of this issue, but I can't seem to find a copy at any of the news stands.  Can someone help me out and pick it up for me?  I'll pay for the magazine and postage to Calgary.

You'll likely have to get it from a member in the US. Publisher told me they don't ship it to Canada for newsstand sales anymore, and that makes sense because I have not been able to buy it on the newsstand in any Province including Alberta, in more than two years. But I have bought it in the US duirng my last two visits. Just picked up the March/April issue of Pontiac Enthusiast last week in Florida, and an issue of Musclecar Enthusiast (also N/A in Canada) the week before in North Carolina.

I wish I could find the next Pontiac issue too; would love to see your car in it. I've pretty much decided to get a subscription; maybe I'll be lucky enough to get the May/June edition as the first one.

it's available online, and I've printed off the page with the photo of my car, but I'll have to see if I can get a copy of the magazine from the US.  My buddy in Milwaukee has a subscription, he's the one who alerted me of the photo.

Clint and John, I have seen both those magazines on the newstands in Toronto, unfortunately I am not in a position to run out and get them right now. Maybe 65 Camino or 73SC could pick them up if I give them directions?

World's Biggest Book Store on Elm St (one block north of Yonge and Dundas) is your best bet, There is also a large magazine store in BCE Place right above the hockey hall of fame. And there is a store called International Press in The Beach. Also most Chapters stores are pretty good.

I picked it up yesterday in Florida. I'll send a copy to seventy2plus2 on Monday.

Hillar, you may be right that the mags can be gotten in Ontario. Chapters is listed as a retailer for Amos Publications all over Canada except Newfoundland. But I spend a lot of time in Calgary and I have not been able to get it the last few times I've been out there and the publisher is telling me the only title they currently ship to Canada is Mopar Enthusiast. Also have not been able to get it in Ontario in the past two years at any of the stores where I used to buy it. All I know for sure is that all the Amos titles are readily available in the US; e.g. I bought the March April Pontiac Enthusiast at a grocery store.

There are a number of specialty newsstands and magazine stores in the GTA which is over 5 million people; that alone probably justifies distributing them here. I long ago just started subsribing to everything; if you buy more than 4-5 issues off the newstand every year, it ends up being cheaper and you never end up missing an issue.

I think a magazine called Canadian Poncho would be pretty cool :)

Be careful what you say on here Todd, that might end up as the Specialty Chapter  publication. Hillar do you know a good Trademark associate to help Todd register all his good ideas?

It looks like gparis7 was able to pick it up for me in the USA.  He'll send it my way.
Thanks everyone for keeping an eye out for me.
