More Cool Cars
Spotted around town, a very original 1964 Pontiac Laurentian (Canadian model) with 18,000 original miles. Four door cars and station wagons, being less collectable than two door and convertibles are now much more rare especially in this condition.

Royal York Hotel Trivia
The Ballroom of the Royal York Hotel.
When the ballroom was built in 1929 the ceiling murals featured 3 topless women. The public was so shocked at this public display of semi nudity that the artist was recalled and asked to cover 1 breast on each of the panels.

Dundas and Glenlake/Then and Now
The angle's a little off but you get the idea. The pedestrian bridge seems intact.
Staged Accident
These 1937 photos from the archives are labelled "Women in shorts "cause" car to crash into pole". Obviously staged as there is no damage to the front of the car. But it has been known to happen. Looks like University Avenue.

Yonge Street/Now/Duesenberg/Cord Showroom
The Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg display from the 1935 car show at the CNE.
This Staples location on Yonge south of Shaftsbury is a former Auburn/Duesenberg/Cord showroom.
The large arch windows have been filled in but some details remain.
As Mark Moore points out, this was also a CBC studio for a number of years.
The original showroom in Auburn, Indiana.
