Hi guys from Ontario (and all others),
one question to this found picture, which is published in english magazine Practical Classics and presented at fb this month:
This photo is taken at a local FIAT dealership in Ontario. Does anyone know the location and the status of this dealership? Does anyone know the story behind these 3 abandoned cars?
Can anyone visit the location and check for the 3 VIN plates behind the windscreens?
I don't know the location, but it appears to be somewhere close to London, ON, on the north side where Highway 7 is. See if you can contact Tom Creech, the guy who spotted them for PC magazine.

The picture looks like late Fall or early Winter, taken in late afternoon, so from the angles of the shadows, it looks like the road in the background is heading north or northwest. There is a street sign that indicates a left turn ahead for "Truck Bypass" to "West London". So, my guess is that that road is south of London, heading northwards, and you just need to find a truck bypass route that heads towards West London at that point.
There appears to be a "Tim Hortons Always Fresh" sign in the background, and perhaps some of the Canadian readers on this forum can confirm (or refute) that.
There is a Thomas Creech on Facebook who appears to be educated in that area of Ontario, so that might be your guy.
But, for all we know, that picture could have been taken decades ago, and those 3 spiders are long since gone?
Good morning!
Yes, you got them, great!
The second link is like a time travel, way back in time!
the fifth picture shows the 3 Spider side by side sitting in the grass, waiting for..?
