More Lost Toronto in colour

I don't know, I think that Clarendonesque toughness was just right--and also gave it a bit of a sophisticated British touch. (I always identify those heavy-serif Clarendon and Profil-type fonts with post-WWII Britain, the same spirit that brought Peter Dickinson to these parts.)

Truck of artist Mark di Suvero 1967:

Everyone: As a license plate collector I decided to look at a NY Blue plate (1966-1973) distribution list that I have and that COM plate pictured 142-947 was issued
at the New York County (Manhattan) District DMV office...I like pictures like this because I am interested particularly in NY's YOM (Year-Of-Manufacture) re-registration
policies concerning vintage plates like these that are at least 25 years old and I like seeing older plates pictured when they were in actual use also...LI MIKE

From the CN Tower, 1976-81:

Charioteer: These CN Tower pictures are prime examples of how memorable visiting the CN Tower is...
It is something if you are interested like I am you won't forget...

If you find any more good CN Tower views from the Toronto Archives or elsewhere from the 70s and 80s don't hesitate to post them-I'm always interested...

I'm getting the feeling there was a greater variety of car colours back in the Seventies. All you see now are white, black, silver and beige.

Those parking lot pics totally remind me of my Matchbox cars as a kid.

Who thought a parking lot could actually look neat? I love the circular lines. The cars in those days had so much character. Now they look as bland as our condos.

My current daily driver, I spent some time looking down at that parking lot for the same roofline!

"My current daily driver," QUOTE mattelderca.


A large and solid automobile which was better built than a Cadillac Fleetwood. (I owned both.)

These were true "highway cars" and even with that 440 cid engine, gave rather good mileage.


Regards, and safe driving,

Sweet ride. They don't make them like they used to.

Those are probably the top colours, but red/burgundy is fairly popular, and dark blue after that. But I agree on the larger variety statement for the 70s. Green cars seem to have almost completely faded away, other than the odd British Racing Green Mini.

Chrysler Royal Monaco? My parents had a Silver 1977 when I was 16. Having been in Canada for only 2 years at the time I though it was very cool.
