If anything, some of these 70s-type colours *might* have mildly come back in the mid-90s, around the time car companies were baiting Gen Xers with stuff like the Neon (or for that matter, the original New Beetle)

Whoa.. Where was this located? Behind City Hall (old Chinatown?) Reminds me of Montreal's Chinatown along De-La Gauchetiere.

What a shame, especially about the Carlton Odeon. What a cool looking building.

Offered to the City for a dollar in the early 70's in exchange for extra height on Wood Street, and turned down......

Good 1977 Comparison pictures-I really liked these...
Charioteer: I always like comparison pictures like these...I noticed as examples the
Cadillac with the NJ straw license plates with a G suffix - a 1976 issue - in the Niagara
Falls picture and the white Chevrolet Nova or Buick Skylark with the Ontario Hydro
curved window building in the background...and that Taxi with the green and orange
"sherbet" colors looks like a Plymouth Fury to me...those colors were "absolutely
Toronto" to me...
