Welcome to the site! I was a great fan of your father, Don Percy. I remember him coining the phrase "Thunder-fuddling-Bay" back in the days of amalgamation. He was always pushing the envelope with his jokes. Tame by todays standards but rather risque back then!
Love the car!! Never seen one before but the combination of all the bright work with and all that glass....awesome machine ( and endless polishing I'm sure). Has to turn heads everywhere you go. Ride with pride!!

strathmore sure sounds familiar im sure my older brother would know right where that is. i was born in 56 so i was quite young . my grandparents house was the one right beside the church at woodbine and wolverleigh blvd im sure it was 362 wolverleigh blvd. the yard was permanentaly full of confetti from the weddings .we moved to peterborough until i finished grade 6 but all holidays and summers were in toronto.for grade 7-8 we were back in toronto at young and eglington and i went to hodjkins junior high at mount pleasant and davisville.my grandparents both lived into there 80,s they both died at home in that house at wolverleigh. my uncle sold it for 100 something thousand, it was rough shape. im told it would be worth close to 1 million today?? in 1969 we moved to port arthur now thunder bay so my father could teach the radio program at confederation college and he also did the morning show at the radio station.
Strathmore was in between Danforth and Wolverleigh..........
I was born in '46 so have a lot of 50's memories of the cars and the areas........welcome to CP
