Not one of them is familiar and in those days I was reading all the classifieds faithfully.

Carl! i was sure you would have a story for atleast one of these. after all you are way way older than me.

The 62 parisienne is our member Brians car (LAD).

i remember the white 64 wagon, and at least one acadian is familiar. although i dont know about the "starburst" paint?

The gold 70 acadian was a guy from high school, must have bought it from this ad.

I would say the best deal on the entire page is the original family 67 malibu 283 car, what a deal for 2500!!!

when i looked at the 67 green wagon, the guy had the entire 275hp 327 scattered all over his garage floor, but what a car! ended up on the pacific motors used car lot, then dissappeared forever around 1999.

Brian's 62 is a sedan, isn't the one in the ad a pillarless?

I don't ever recall seeing a factory air wagon here, so cool........... But I had the same thought, the sweet little hardtop is the best deal of them all, wow.

Argh! To be able to go back to those days.

They were out of reach to me then, due to being a poor student, and now out of reach due to the fact that they have increased in price almost tenfold in some cases...

Ther is one in the 1989 issue, located in Mitchel manitoba, 4800 dollars 283 car. i emidiately thought of your car as it sure looks similar. is it the one? i will scan it tonight.

It is possible, the guy I bought if from was in Winnipeg, but he got it from his cousin who lived out on a farm somewhere. I can't remeber where. If it looks like it has fishscale "Chevy" stickers on the rear quarters, it's the car.....

I do recall the 64 Pontiac wagon being advertised in the National Old Car trader. I think the 67 GP was also advertised there at some point. The rest I don't remember, but that's probably because at that time I was paying more attention to FS Pontiac models, among which I have always admired the 67 GP in particular.

Thanks for looking Dave. That's not it. I should have cut out the ad at the time and saved it. I think it was only in the weekly Manitoba one and would have only been fresh that week as I was buying every week looking for a car.
