Notice at that time period stock was required to have exhaust under the car even if just hanging 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.

Oh Boy! Now this is what I'm talking about... while we love our W-31's, El Caminos, LeMans, Corvette and Mustang ....the next car(s) on our hit list has GOT to be a Trans Am!!!!

I don’t recognize any of the judges, but they’re so generic of ads , It’s tough to say and there was a 69 green convertible judge up in the Rochester area, so that’s probably the ad for that one.

I'll share the '74 SD Ads next but check the Judge Ads again as I've updated the posting w/ more also have a few left yet to add.

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.
