He's actually in a Ford, because he's kind of a dork.

Picture is not from Nova Scotia..........it's from Lake of the Ozarks near the Bagnell Dam in Missouri...west of St.Louis.

The Shoreland Motel still has the same sign as shown in the picture.

I recognize many of those Halifax spots from when I was a kid. The 1st shot is the Citadel facing the harbour with the Town Clock (the 4 Faced Liar as it was known) in the foreground. Was there this summer for the 1st time in over 30 yrs.

Stayed at the Citadel Inn years ago.
The Town & Country Restaurant was a well known joint, as always there's a Canadian Poncho sitting out front waiting while the owners have a KFC feed!

 Unfortunately it was demolished many years ago, probably to make way for the Cogswell interchange, which itself was made useless when the Harbour Drive project was halted in its tracks in the late sixties in order to preserve what is now known as historic properites.

I believe it was located around the intersection of Buckingham St. (which no longer exists) and Water Street on this old map:

 Ya, I didn't think I recognised it from my Halifax wanderings. I've walked my socks off in Halifax (up those hills) quite a few times.

 Yes, thank you Raj, great pics regardless of where they were taken.  BTW, the second photo above doesn't look like Halifax either - is that a New York plate on the Ford?

Out of curiousity, what was a life span for a daily driver Canadian poncho of the '60's & '70's? I spoke to a guy who lived in Nova Scotia back in the '70's for his job. He drove over a '65 Bel air sedan with a 283 and powerglide from Los Angeles which was a clean sheet metal car. He said by 4rth winter the quarters ,rockers and lower front fenders were rotted out badly. The end of the car came on cold Canadian Winter when he got a flat tire in the parking lot. As soon as he started jacking it up again, the jack went through the rusted frame so it was scrapped after 6 years :(
