This Esso had a big happy face sign that the owner had put up. It was always known as 'Happy Face Esso.'
Fast forward to today, and the area that you were in is still sometimes referred to now as 'Happy Face Village'...
I live five minutes from where you were today.

It was nice. perfect condition by the looks of it. How did it survive all those canadian winters?The Firebird was nice though... Langley still has enough older Whitey's with money, so not uncommon to see older White peoples cars around here.Quote from: "Chuck Bronson"

Had one just like that, same color, a very rare "Sprint" version (with Jaguar 6 very high compression and precise technology) light, fast and took the turns well with the racing suspension etc on that special version
The kids and I restored it and had it painted ... a highlight in life as a single parent family at that time.
I always had a thing for hot and good handling lookers

There's really only a few ways this can happen, and the same applies to much of the US also! It was either garaged for most of its life, or was formerly a South Western US car needing only a slap of paint and some interior pieces, or the most likely scenario it was restored from the ground up at some point!
