Thanks BVZ for that info...I never knew about the land issue, but I'm assuming it must have been the property immediately to the east along the street that was vacant that I recall at the time. That property has a couple of lame storefront businesses that I'm surprised they haven't gone belly up after all these years. I know that there was an expansion to the north (the back) later when it came under new ownership in 2001.
Do you have a link to that lawsuit info? I'd like to look at that now that you got me interested...lol!
OE Coe was definitely not a performance image dealership, but the only Pontiac dealer in the Grand Rapids area at the time, so a lot of special order cars did roll out of there. I had an '70 Atoll Blue RAIV M21 GTO that needs restoration yet, but all numbers matching. I remember that car being driven to the community college and parking on the street that we walked along to go to classes. We found it in a Chicken coop in Holland, MI in the early 1990's.
