1994

 

I know that this car is not a Sunbeam however just looking at the background I can easily identify the exact location of the car. N.E. Corner of W. Georgia Street and Richards Street in Vancouver. The building to the left of the 3 Canadian flags is a good reference point. Also the microwave telephone tower in the background.

 

 

       

Harry Blane passed away in 2006 from cancer.

I never had the opportunity to meet him in person however, I had many lengthy, meaningful and insightful telephone conversations with him. A true gentleman. 

It was his kind gesture to offer these images and history  to share with you all.

 

My condolences to the Blane family. - Ohan Gurlekian
