ManicMechanic Posted July 17, 2015 Report Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Okay, this thread is for photos of W-body "back in the day" on dealer lots, on transport trucks, even vintage street scenes of when the early Ws were new even if they are in the background. I'd like to focus on first gens here but second gens are old enough to qualify. No recent pics please. To give some examples: Edited November 25, 2022 by ManicMechanic Quote

'93RegalGS3800 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Posted July 17, 2015 This thread is one I'll keep coming back too. It's interesting to see what the cars of the era you were born in looked like new. Quote

'93RegalGS3800 Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 Would it be a good idea to make this thread a sticky? What about adding a history/origionality section on the forum? Just some thoughts I have conidering how old these cars are getting. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted July 18, 2015 Author Report Posted July 18, 2015 My friend Rhonda's brand new 1993 Cutlass convertible the day her son and husband brought it home. Â Â primergray 1 Quote
94 olds vert Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) As I remember this picture had to been taken in the late 90s. This was my families 1997 GTP. It looks pretty new in the pictures, and I look young as well. Â Â From the 1989 Daytona 500 Â Edited July 18, 2015 by 94 olds vert primergray 1 Quote
RareGMFan Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 Awesome thread! Wish I had some old pics to share.      "Oh yes, my lovelies. You beauties are definitely going to make me enough money to finally invest in that Florida time share I've been eying for the past year...." '93RegalGS3800 1 Quote

mfewtrail Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 Nice post. I'd love to find a pic from asc/mclaren with a large group of tgp's on their lot similar to the Grand National one that exists. I'm betting someone working there or living near there took such a picture. Â Not a bad idea to start snapping pics at new car lots for future generations of car nuts to enjoy. Quote
Euro Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 Awesome thread idea, I have a bunch saved on my old laptop I think. Quote
Euro Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 They aren't great photos, but you can see a row of 2nd Gen GP's in these photos that the guy took of the 98 Daytona 500 Pace car with the MPD F1 package     Can see a 1st Gen Cutty sedan in the (I'm assuming) used lot of the Pontiac dealership ManicMechanic 1 Quote

GnatGoSplat Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015  I recognize that one, it's Branson, MO. Didn't realize how much Branson has changed since then. Looks like this now. Quote
