When i moved to vancouver in July 1975 Belmont was still in business at Broadway and Fraser. They had the black and white checkered parking lot full of muscle cars-all used ones. It was very common in the for used car dealers in Vancouver to buy wholesale in Ontairo and Quebec and bring cars here. Our nicer climate ment that cars sold new here lasted longer that the salt laden stuff from "back east".
Belmont was still high pressure in 1975. Every close was "sit down and fill out a credit app". $99 down and $99 a month-they never told you how many months. I recall looking at a 70 442 convert there in the fall of 75. the asking price was around $2200,but with their easy finace program the car would cost $3700 over three years. I was able to walk off the lot.
