Dealership Photos

Not too much of a Ford guy, but you would have to figure Tasca Ford in RI to be a player, Sutliff Chev in PA (sponsor of Bruce Larson's Funny car) was big as well. Just my $.02

How about Stick City in Glendale, or Bill Parker 4 Speeds in San Leandro?

This is kind of a cool idea. Maybe a small chapter on the smaller used car lots from back-in-the-day that specialized in pre-owned performance cars. Seems like every decent-sized city had a lot like this. The one in here in Saint Louis was called "His & Hers".

We're also looking to feature some supercars. If you have one that was sold through Hi Po dealer and it hasn't been seen in a book before please PM me.

I have some never before published pictures of the vacant Royal Pontiac location before the buildings were torn down.

I also have some shots of my car at that location, from 2009 or so.

It might be easier for me to email them if you are interested.

Right. But Tasca is still in business. We'll have small sidebars for surviving former Hi Po dealers like Tasca, Galpin and others.

I hear ya, Mark. The thing is we have so much content to showcase from the dealers selling new cars, it would be a shame to take away from them to add the resellers. Though it certainly is an interesting topic in its own right.

I do not, but I know that Dick Milner who drove for them ('63 Z-11 Impala) is still alive and on Facebook so you may want to contact him.
