- Scope and Content
- Two black-and-white negative photographs featuring Don Fordham with two Pontiacs at Fordham Motors, on November 4, 1976.
- R13 S3 Sh6 B2 145a was published in the West Lorne Sun on November 4, 1976, with the caption: "Don Fordham displays two Pontiacs to show the difference between today's trim model at left and a 1958 Strato Chief, which is pretty ornate with chrome trim by comparison. While these at Fordhams like the new '77's, they are partial to the restored '58. Three years ago Don Fordham bought it from the late William D. McKillop in West Lorne. having only some slight rust damage to the front end he decided to restore the car, but it wasn't until three weeks ago it was back in showroom condition and competing for attention - and getting it - with the new Pontiac at left. With only 37,000 miles on the Strato Chief, which was a bottom-of-the-line model in '58 and sold for $2,895 the interior is immaculate. The new model sells for $6,400. Other than the new paint job, everything is original on the '58. Owner Don Fordham is retaining it and won't even place a price on it."
