The 1975 Grand Am (Saddle colored carpet) has a different accelerator pedal than any of the others, and I don't see one available anywhere. It has pebble grain on part, and ribs on the other. The brake pedal has the same, but reversed top to bottom. Weird!... The 73 Grand Am 1st pic, red carpet and no floor mat) has the same brake pedal, but a different ribbed accelerator pedal. The 75 Laguna (2nd pic, red carpet with floor mat) and 73 SS both have the same pedals, with "disc brakes" embossed on the brake and the standard ribbed accelerator pedal, which is not shaped the same as the Pontiacs. Also, there are at least two kinds of parking brake pedals, too. How about the Olds cars and/or Buick cars?? What about Monte's. Which ones do they have?... Just curious, I like to know little things like that!study

Thanks,Thatfnthing, Hey, I used to fly into Amherst and prune the big Ficus trees in the mall there. been about ten years, but I thought it was a cool town. They still have the big city park with the drive thru pathway? I thought that was a great park but can't remember the name.

Amherst itself doesn't have any parks big enough to have a drive path, but the city of Buffalo has one (Delaware Park), as does Tonawanda (Ellicott Creek), Orchard Park (Chestnut Ridge), and Akron, all of which are very pretty.  Which mall did you go to?

I used to trim the trees in two malls there, one in Buffalo, and one in Amherst. It's been way too long to remember any names though. I'll bet it was the park in Buffalo.

That would be Main Place Mall and Boulevard Mall, respectively. They would fly you in just to trim the trees? They couldn't find anyone local? Are Ficus trees that tricky?

I am an indoor tree specialist... I used to (used too, thanks economy!) Fly to Redondo Beach and Victorville, Cali. Then to Charlston WV, then to Buffalo/Amherst, then down to Tucson for a week. I would start when the mall closed and prune all nite untill morning. Yeah, the BIG 20 - 30 foot Ficus are pretty hard to keep shaped correctly. like anything, you can do it half-A$$ or you can do it right.
