Hey Todd; You're correct, Central Chev's High Performance Centre was on the north west corner of Talbot & Fullarton Streets. It was originally a Fina Service Station. The attached photo is from a 1969 Wheelspin News. Dave Mathers (who now owns St.Thomas Dragway), Wayne Huber, Tim Wilkins & Gary Dayment were the high performane specialists and Don Brooks was the high performance technician. In 1970, Don moved onto St.Thomas Chrysler and campaigned a SS/DA 70 Hemi Cuda. Both Central Chev/Olds and London Motor Products were hotbeds for GM performance. .............Bill

Yep Pete, here's another cool one. This is from the July 21st edition of the London Free Press. Note the Camaro on the left. Looks like a COPO to me. ............Bill
