Both those exchanges are for the area, my office is 757 which is just up the street and there are 751's nearby too. Many businesses have more than one line.
Oh btw, that round decal Bob posted can be blown up to 200% and not lose much clarity so if we had a dead on shot that could be the artwork for a knock off.

So too was "DRAGING UNLIMITED at St Clair & Oconner, spent a few $$$ at both of these shops
I live two minutes away from there, vaguely remember it, which side of the street was it on again?
It was just west of Oconner, think there's a new builbing on site there now. I used to work at the dealership on the south east corner [not there now ] when it was a Toyota dealer, Jack Frame Mtrs. & b4 that it was Paul Willison Chry. AH the good old days. I got out of the auto trade & went to driving tractor trailers DUH!!! Don't miss either one now!!! I even hate going back to T. O. now. I've also got one of those decals somewhere, have to look for it!!!

There was a big slot car store just up the street on O'Connor as well. Remember when we moved into the neighbourhood in '79 that O'Connor Dodge was on the south side of St. Clair.

O'Connor Speedway. Was there from mid sixties when Slot cars were popular.

Yup, we had it all back in those days. O'Connor Speedway and Dragging Unlimited within a couple of hundred feet of one another.
I think that Mopar dealer on the south east corner was the original Willison Chrysler Plymouth before they moved to Eglinton and then that site became O'Connor Dodge before finally becoming the Toyota dealer.

Next time I see Jim, I'll ask him or his dad about Anglia???
I'll look to see if I have pictures-I recall a lot of people around the car-maybe lotsa pit guys-not sure. I'd guess it was a dark color brown or black. Might have been a car they supplied parts too and got a sponser name on or something
