Like the white pinstripes accenting the breaklines... don't think that I have ever seen that on a COPO before.

If that first shot was taken in Jan of 70, why is there no snow, and why are the trees all green?
I'd bet that picture was taken in '69, but the roll of film wasn't developed until Jan. I had the same problem.

Nischan-Spalding in Grand Rapids

[/ QUOTE ]

I was living and working in the Grand Rapids area in 1972 and never came upon that dealer. I got 2 new cars in GR, a 1972 El Camino SS350 and a 1973 Chevelle SS350. I cruzed all the GM dealers and only recall Berger and C. Bell. C. Bell was a new dealership in 1972 (where I got my cars) and maybe was the old Nischan-Spalding.
