From left, General Motors representative from Toronto George Gosling, dealership owner Peter Raback, and the car transport driver. In the left background is the Supertest gas station, and on the right is the Blue Bell Tea Room, owned by Les Kinsman. Raback had started up his garage in the summer of 1960 and got his first delivery of new cars from General Motors in January 1961. Raback received the dealership after Union Garage was sold and then demolished to make way for a parking lot for a new A&P grocery store. (Information from Muskoka Digital Archives).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
