Default Black panther article

I have seen a very interesting article about the Black Panther cars in Newpapers.com. It is from the Windsor Star on Tuesday May 16th, 1967 and the piece is titled Autoline. Unfortunately, I am unable to open the article again.
I know there are members on this site that are always posting ads and articles from newspapers. I am hoping someone can gain access and post the article here for all to read.

I have an article at home. I'm not sure if it is the same one. Trying to find it is going to be an issue as someone sent it to me many years ago, when I was interested in seeing whether it was worth pursuing one of these cars.

Thomas. I would be interested in seeing the article you have. It might be the one from several years ago that the Toronto Star posted.

I just noticed there is what appears to be an advertisement with a Black Panther photo in the Friday May 12, 1967 edition of the Windsor Star. I am very frustrated as the site only shows a partial section and it asks if I would like to start a free trial. When I enter my info, it will not allow me access. This is why I am hoping a member can post the article.

Bad timing as my Newspaper.com account has been inaccessible for weeks and I've been emailing w/ them just today trying to fix it.
One of the other fellas w/ a subscription will surely capture the article and post it here, I'm looking forward to seeing it too!

That's the one Helmet. Thanks very much. The members on this site are always a great help.
Interesting read. According to the article, Gorries licenced the Black Panthers to a few other Ontario dealers.
I also searched under 1967 Camaro Black Panther and an ad came up from May 12. 1967. I am unable to see the full ad as you have to be a member of Newspapers.com to open it. Are you able to see and post this ad as well?

Probably 15 years ago, there was a Canadian guy that showed one of the Black Panther cars at the St Ignace car show near the Mackinac Bridge. He was there several years with it and I remember talking to him about the car. He may have been the original owner and I think he was from Soo Canada. It was a pretty nice car.

I remember the switches they talk about mounted on the console. Not my style, but glad someone is preserving at least some of them.

I’ve gotta say, black with a gold interior looks sharp but I’m not real fond of the gold stripes. He’s very optimistic about his value estimate. 8-|
