Here's the first picture I can find standing on the balcony before my dad's 2 cars: blue 1967 Parisienne convertible and red 71 Bel-Air. Incidentally both Canadian cars as the Bel-Air 2-door coupe was not sold in the States. This picture was taken in the spring of 1977 in Montreal.

The quality is pretty bad scanned from a 126 camera print but it is what it is.

OK here is one of me with my first 58 Parisienne purchased back in 1960.  Ray will recognize the location. Harris Water Works Victoria Park and Queen St in Toronto.  Sorry its fuzzy believe it was taken with a polaroid camera.  Bob.

July 1961, Woodland Beach ON, its on Georgian Bay.

1961 2 door sedan "Batwing" Strato Chief midnight blue, 261 I6 and powerglide.

Depicted with car is my sister, Nancy, born 1952 and me, Ray born 1957.

....and Bob yes the Harris filtration plant is still a sunset destination in Toronto a sit overlooks the Lake with an uninterrupted horizon. 

What a awesome historical photo you've got there. 

I last took a photo of my Suburban there about 5 years ago, 

....and the LeMans about 10 years ago.

Best vintage Canadian Pontiac photo ever!  

Somewhere I have a faded photo of a very young me with a brand new '65 Pontiac or '66 Pontiac (my Dad's demonstrator from the dealership at the time), but not sure where it is.  When my parents passed away, the family photos moved around a bit between my sister and I - I think she has most of them now.  I plan to get them from her and do some scanning one of these days.

Me and my first Pontiac/musclecar a 1966 GTO sport coupe I purchased back in 1988 when I was stationed in Trenton ON AFB, I was 24 and didn't know much about cars and mechanics but loved the look of it, I know late boomer. Car was advertised as a 400 4 speed with 12 bolt 3.55, but later found out it was a Pontiac 350, lucky me found a 1966 GTO 389 4 barrel 4 speed motor a couple years later in Verona ON... Same year I bought a 1975 Firebird Esprit winter beater but no pix

Second GTO was a 1969 me and one of my best friend worked on together in 1998-2001 when I was stationed in Comox BC. SDPerformance Pontiac 461 with Super T10 ...  Sure miss these cars !

It is too bad we didn't get any photos, but back in the 60's when I was riding my tricycle all over the neighborhood like a free-range child, there were Canadian Pontiacs all over. On my street back then there were 2 1963 Laurentians, one of which was replaced by a Verdoro Green '69 Laurentian, plus a '64 Laurentian, a '66 Grande Parisienne 4-door hardtop, periodic visits from Orillia to our neighbors by a black '67 Grande Parisienne coupe, a clear view of a Crystal Turquoise '69 Laurentian out our front window down the the hill the next block over. Directly across from us was a '65 Beaumont Sport Deluxe convertible, pure white outside & bright red inside. A few blocks over there was also a '66 Acadian Invader wagon like Arcadian's, red inside & out, plus a '69 Parisienne sport sedan. Also a Monaco Blue '63 Acadian Beaumont 4-door 3 houses east of us, & I think a yellow '64 Beaumont sport coupe for about a year (maybe in '67) when we had Sikhs living 2 doors over.When the Sikhs moved out after 1 year, a Welsh family moved in, bringing there habits of buying European cars. They had a new Renault 16 just like in the hotlink, plus a Sunbeam fastback and later on vintage Jaguars. They also owned a really cool 1974 Mazda RX-4 Luce wagon with a manual trans and the 1st Renault 5 I had seen in person back in 'the fall of '75.

Full-size Pontiacs were ubiquitous back in the 60's.

I know, talk is cheap, post pictures.

Great photos, people! Dust off those old slides. 

This is the best I can find right now. That's mini me in front of my uncle's Chevy. My Mom's '54 Laurentian is next to it on the right... and if I'm not mistaken, Dad's '62 Biscayne behind the Pontiac.

The picture was taken on a property my (then) young parents were renting. The year has to be '68, because they bought a house (with a nice yard and lawn) in the spring of '69.

And again, not me, but maybe somebody on here.....
