Thanks again all! The blue Copo Camaro I looked at the other day (original owner car....owner died and now the nephew has it) had a B & A emblem on the back exactly like the one Pete posted.....Thanks for that Pete! Trying to get a glimpse of the GM report on that one to see if they listed B & A as the selling dealer....and the delivery date. This one has the "Camaro" script on the fenders (like mine)and the pinstripes (not on mine). Here is a really bad couple pics of it...

The emblems on the front fenders came both ways ....Camaro script and Rally Sport ....My blue car and Charlie's Orange car both had R/S spelled out on fenders

My 69 Olds 442 W30 was sold at British & American Chevrolet (1508) Ltd. in Toronto.
The dealer code on my Protecto-plate 95-517.
The dealership address on the paper is : 77 Avenue Road, Toronto, Ontario.

Cheers,

Sam

Nice work everyone! My original GM paperwork said Chevy Yonge before they amended it to Addison. Does anyone have anything on Chevy Yonge? Tried Google - no luck. Thanks. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

My 1971 Pontiac Trans Am was sold at Addison originally

Makes sense that as Addison acquired dealers there code would be recognized as Addison years later. A frinds W31 was sold new in Alberta and that was confirmed from GM Vintage in the 80's. When a later owner did a search around 2002, the dealer code had been assigned to an Ontairo dealer. Creates confusion.
As far as Jims Camaro is concerned, I could not imagine this coming from Addison on Bay in 1969 as they were Cadillac, Buick and Pontiac.

I agree - It is confusing. The second owner (I have not tracked down the original owner....yet) seemed to remember that the original owner told him he bought it new in Toronto....but not right downtown. So that leaves B&amp;A - as they were later acquired by Addison, or the mysterious &quot;Chevy Yonge&quot; which the previous GM Canada paperwork showed. Would love to know more about them. Well......at least we know it was sold in Canada for sure! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif[/img]

I got this from GM Canada.......&quot; there is much confusion with this dealer code 95517, it was British American Chev till around 69, Chevy Yonge Holdings 73-80 and Parkwood Central in 1991&quot;.
So - Unless there is a totally clear dealer code on GM's microfiche or I find the original owner and he tells me....I think the safest bet is either British American or maybe even Chevy Yonge.... probably not Addison. What makes sense to you guys? I have no definitive answer....other than I do know it was a Toronto sold car.
