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.

Yes, He does not remember the car but he does remember many mustangs and Shelbys whenever he went into the showroom. he lived in Rochester and worked on all of the Ferraris and those kinds that came through Delaware.

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.

do you know the color name or interior on that convertible judge?

Pepper or Vedoro green

Can’t be the same car ,the one we had in Buffalo had only 9000 miles on it when it left here at the same time

He lived in Rochester and he would drive back-and-forth to Buffalo every day to work ? quite a haul

Not necessarily WNY but here’s a few more NY Ads for Judge ‘Verts, ‘74 SD Ads still to come.
There’s likely more in later years than I’m searching, LMK specifics of any cars/years to try.
Mark, what history do you have on your ‘66 Caprice, did we try before in past threads?
