I believe the dealership was Paul Willison Chrysler located in the east end of Toronto. Was a successful prominent dealership that grew to 3 locations iirc. My father bought a few cars from Willison but nothing as cool as yours, just slant six dart and a duster. The last one was a 75 sport fury. Congratulations on your car and keep up the excellent work.
That's it. I'm actually at the exact location where your car was sold brand new. It's still a Chrysler dealer just renamed. Picking up some parts for my Dodge Cummins . And I agree as it would be difficult for me also to drill those holes. Maybe some two sided tape ??? As for my father..... I can just imagine his comments. He grew up very poor in the great depression, served his country in WWII (landed on D-day) went the distance to Berlin. As a result he was very opinionated and didn't have much use for frivolous material items. He just bought basic transportation, slant six etc. At least they were two doors. Again nice work , your welcome and thanks.
I am the second owner of a 1964 Dodge Polara that was sold new by McManus Motors in London, Ontario. This was one of the largest Dodge dealers in Ontaio at its time, but now no longer exists. I bought this car from the original purchaser in London, in 1980, and it still had the dealership plaque screwed to the deck lid. The first time the body was redone and painted this sign was tossed because of its poor condition. At this time, McManus Motors was still in business, with no end in sight. Decades later, my Dodge needed a restoration, and now McManus was only a memory. I regretted throwing away the original sign, since it was part of the car's, and local history. Fortunately, I discovered an acquaintenance of mine had worked at this Dodge store for many years and had a NOS McManus dealership plaque in his tool box. I badgered (pun intended) him for years before he sold it to me. At restoration time, the filler was removed from the original holes in the deck lid, and the piece was reinstalled. My restoration is ongoing, but the dealership sign is once again proudly displayed on my car. Any of my friends who have seen my project in progress are awed that I was able to find this NOS plaque to complete the car.
That blue motor in a pink car looks so damn awesome!! I love it!
