Black panther article
I have seen a very interesting article about the Black Panther cars in Newpapers.com. It is from the Windsor Star on Tuesday May 16th, 1967 and the piece is titled Autoline. Unfortunately, I am unable to open the article again.
I know there are members on this site that are always posting ads and articles from newspapers. I am hoping someone can gain access and post the article here for all to read.

Thomas. I would be interested in seeing the article you have. It might be the one from several years ago that the Toronto Star posted.
I just noticed there is what appears to be an advertisement with a Black Panther photo in the Friday May 12, 1967 edition of the Windsor Star. I am very frustrated as the site only shows a partial section and it asks if I would like to start a free trial. When I enter my info, it will not allow me access. This is why I am hoping a member can post the article.

Bad timing as my Newspaper.com account has been inaccessible for weeks and I've been emailing w/ them just today trying to fix it. One of the other fellas w/ a subscription will surely capture the article and post it here, I'm looking forward to seeing it too!  ~ Pete .

That's the one Helmet. Thanks very much. The members on this site are always a great help.
Interesting read. According to the article, Gorries licenced the Black Panthers to a few other Ontario dealers. I also searched under 1967 Camaro Black Panther and an ad came up from May 12. 1967. I am unable to see the full ad as you have to be a member of Newspapers.com to open it. Are you able to see and post this ad as well?

Probably 15 years ago, there was a Canadian guy that showed one of the Black Panther cars at the St Ignace car show near the Mackinac Bridge. He was there several years with it and I remember talking to him about the car. He may have been the original owner and I think he was from Soo Canada. It was a pretty nice car.
I remember the switches they talk about mounted on the console. Not my style, but glad someone is preserving at least some of them.

I’ve gotta say, black with a gold interior looks sharp but I’m not real fond of the gold stripes. He’s very optimistic about his value estimate. 8-|
