1970 Formula 400 Carousel Red on black (std) interior "no drivetrain option" car (same base drivetrain as GTO) 1:411 1970 Firebird Formulas originally sold in Canada
Does anyone know if Denis Verrier is still connected with Birchwood Motors. I used to lease our Manitoba GM vehicles from him when I was Fleet Manager at Honeywell Canada 1979 to 1993. Would like to reminisce the good old days with him if he is willing. Bob.

My nephew is a salesman at Birchwood so I might be able to get you some current stuff.
Yup, just vintage stuff - period correct to my car.

Last I heard he was. I spoke with him on the phone back in 2018 around the time he offered to give me this dealer badge I have. We casually planned to meet up when he was driving to BC (passing through Calgary iirc) to visit his daughter - but that never happened.

This is what i have. pitting, repainted nicely tho. new 2 sided tape applied.
I was going to comment that yours looks different on account of the yellowed street lamp.
If that's a part of your collection, I won't ask for it on account of having the one that Dennis gave me, but if you aren't really worried about keeping it, I'd be interested in it.
I have some vintage dealer stuff for other dealerships, but only the one badge from Birchwood. I have a key tag from Brookdale (another Winnipeg GM dealer) probably circa 1980's or early 1990's, and another keytag from Jack Carter probably circa 1970's or 1980's, as well as a couple random Canadian dealership (probably 1990's vintage) owners manual envelopes/packets...

The key tag is neat, but I'd guess it being pretty recent - probably from just before the change over to ten digit dialing.
I think I have seen that ad online.
