Those are the pictures I’m talking about right there.

No shortage of SNOW there.

I can’t imagine anyone finding one of those cars and restoring it stock that’s as bad as that white w American flag copo Camaro from CT getting restored stock. Uggg like restoring superman to Clark Kent status.

But back to our WNY thread. I’m surprised the answer wasn’t there’s 2 or 3 of them in that building in the picture.

Don’t really recognize any of the judges, but that’s a little before I was in the market still in high school and that’s democrat and Chronicles was in Rochester, which is about 90 miles up the road

I finished updating the Judge postings of what I had saved, again they’re all pre-1980.
I'll try searching 80’s later also w/ a wider scope but that usually encompasses Eastern NY Newspapers too which is what I was trying to avoid by searching closer to Rochester.
Considering only minuscule points of a tiny percentage of Old Newspapers have been scanned, it’s often amazing what has been also what can be found w/ a bit of digging, Ads above a good example.
I’ll work on posting the ‘74 SD Ads next…otherwise, anyone please speak up w/ details of any WNY cars worth searching for including Dealer Ads when new.

Hey Pete! Thanks for posting all those ads! Cool to see them. I'd be curious to see ads from Piehler Pontiac about July/August 1980. That's where I found my Z. It came from Heinrich when it was new. It ended up down the street at Piehler.

Piehler had some great high-performance Pontiacs back in the late 60s and 70s RAII Firebird !!

Looking quickly, it appears Piehler did little Newspaper Advertising or just few have been scanned?
I did spot this Heinrich Ad below…anything of your car being a Demo or selling there again used Mark?

Thanks Pete! My car wasn't a demo. The original owner worked at Heinrich. I don't remember what he did there. I tracked him down and when I met up with him he told me the options he chose and some of the early life of the car before he sold it to his brother-in-law. He showed me some pictures of it (gave me a few too) and still had some parts for it, which i promptly made a deal for. The brother-in-law traded in at Piehler for... a Triumph TR7. That's why I was asking if you've seen any ads for Piehler. A friend of mine told me about the car on the lot so I went to look and ended up buying it. That was 1980. I know way more about my Z than about my Caprice. It would be nice to find info on that car.
