Re: New Member - New Wheels
 

Welcome aboard Jim!
Your car looks absolutely stunning, do you have any history of it between the original sale and more recent years?
B & A ordered other Copo cars but were bought out by Addison so yours could have been delivered from there too, best is confirm dealer code # w/ actual info & not just what GM Vintage services crosses over to & provides now.
Others here on the site may be able to offer more info on these dealers as some kept using codes of dealers they absorbed, some didn't...Midyr Lance is one also 427Strato who posted here recently may have B & A info too.
Best of luck w/ everything!

Thanks Pete. I have spoken with three of the previous owners so far....the MTO used vehicle report only went back to 1973 so I haven't found the original owner yet. B &amp; A were bought out by Addison? I will call GM now and ask for further clarification. The car I looked at yesterday actually has a B &amp; A metal emblem on the tail panel.....which kind of suggests they were still around at the beginning of '69. I need to get a shipping date on that car as well. I'll let you know if I get any new info. Thanks, Jim

Re: New Member - New Wheels
 

Does anyone know the dealer# for B &amp; A (British and American) ?

Re: New Member - New Wheels
 

Sorry, I don't have the B &amp; A dealer code but again best check in w/ site members mentioned above/below.
Again Lance is a great guy w/ lots of Toronto dealer knowledge also I believe 427Strato has/had a B &amp; A delivered Copo Chevelle, one of a few they had ordered.
The B &amp; A Avenue Rd. building was designed by well known Toronto architect E.J. Lennox, built in 1913/1914 it was known originally as the Wolseley Motor Car Co.
Demolished in the 70's, today the location of an upscale condo development called Hazelton Lanes.
Yes I believe they were bought out by Addison around 69/70 and here's all I have on file below, please post their dealer code here if you do come up w/ it.
