|
|
I am seeking items related to Taber Pontiac, formerly located on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, GA. I am seeking post cards, drive off tags, licence plate frames, news paper ads or what have you. Also interested in the same for Cannon Buick Pontiac Opel, late of Wareham street, MIddleboro, Ma.
Thanks! Tom Lynde. lynde2375@charter.net |

Sorry I can't help with collectables but all I can offer is the correct spelling which is "TABOR". My father worked in the Atlanta (Southeast)
Zone Office for many years in the 50's and 60's and I spent many hours on the lot checking out the new inventory whenever it arrived. Bought a used 69 Firebird 400 from their lot for $3200.00. The bank took it back after I was drafted in 1970. Its probably worth 10 times the price I paid.
Wish I had it back! _________________ |

Thanks for sharing your memories of the dealership. My 65 Bonneville was built at the Doraville, GA assembly plant and sold at Taber to an elderly lady who never took the car out of Georgia. My wife went to college in the early eighties at school on Peachtree St. in Atlanta, and she'd occationally indulge me and we'd spend some time at the dealership checking out the new models. That is where I first saw the Fiero. It was sad to see the dealership go. I bought the Bonneville in 1991, and by then the dealership was history. The site is now populated by high rise condos. By the way, the dealer plate on my '65's trunk clearly reads "Taber." |
