TOPPERS CAR CLUB
Toppers at the races, early 1960's.

 

Their motto was " BIG OR TEENY JUST CALL HEANEY"

 

The dealership was Wilson Motors. I think they were located on Yates St. between Blanshard and Quadra on the left side looking towards town. Empress Motors was two blocks to the left on Fort St. Maybe ask joemac05 where it was he worked there and would know for sure.

 

Gary thanks for finding such great photos. This reminds me of being 16 and dressing like this. Thought I was Mr. Cool! ha ha Here is a picture of me at 16 on my Hot Rodded bicycle. lol I was eating a candy bar, NO my teeth weren't bad. ha ha Ron... The slot car track, and car club pictures are great too.

 

"I'm telling ya, once we get this thing bolted up, you gonna want to lean over the handlebars - waaay over!"

 

You pretty well nailed it. Far back as I know it started out as the Motor House, then to Wilson motors and then to Morrison Chev Olds. Then Mr Morrison built a brand new huge building at a different site around 1965. Around 1969 it became Cornell Chev Olds. I put in 30 years with the dealership. The *NEW* building has recently been torn down and replaced buy yet another *huger* building. The new building is now a Toyota dealership.
