Typically new car introduction took place on the 3rd Thursday of September. All the major newspapers provided significant ad space for new car introduction.
The Weekend magazine & The Canadian magazine on the following Saturday featured all the new cars they could. In September 23, 1970 they were all about the new 1971 Vega, Pinto, Mustang, Cougar, Pantera, Charger, Satellite, Toronado, Riviera, Javelin, Matador, AMX-3, Gremlin, Hornet Sportabout.
GM had millions of cars to produce that year. The Big cars were the mainstream standards back then, they weren't considered "Big". When GM brought out the next generation entire full-size line for 1971, it was a big deal. Their bread and butter.
The FLQ Crisis would happen in a little over a week from then.
