If that's a used car lot ,that GTO is still a "new" car if the picture was taken in May 1967!!!
My grandfather would buy late model salvage cars and fix and resell them. He once bought a trainload of C1 Vettes that derailed at the plant here in St. Louis. My grandfather would send my dad when he was a child out in the back lot with a sledge hammer to bust up old C1 and C2 carcasses!

No, It's our bodyshop that my grand-father built in 1947. We are still conducting business out of the same building. (with a few additions through the years)
So where is it located? That is a pretty cool old shop.
Your one post had "at the plant here in St. Louis" so is it in the St. Louis area?
Yes, we are in St. Louis. We are in the suburb of Crestwood on Route 66

Small world, I've been there, back in August 2010. I went to Crestwood because there was supposed to be a day of cruising Route 66 with lots of classic cars. When I got there, there was no one but a few in the mall.
After I left the mall, this 1968 Camaro had stopped at your garage and there were several old cars there, including a '55 Chevy set up and painted like the "Two Lane Blacktop" car with James Taylor and Dennis Wilson. I stopped and talked to a few guys for awhile and left. It was too dark to get any pictures, and the only pictures were from the mall.
At the same time in the Midwest, gas was around 25 cents for regular and 27-28 cents for premium.
And the best line in there was this:
"The thing that strikes me the most is that everybody in these pictures -- these wonderfully beautiful young people -- they're all 60 years old or older now," McCloskey said.

I was 17 at that time, but we cruised Whittier Blvd and sometimes Beach Blvd. And yes, I'm 61 today
