Thanks, Tenney -

My wife and I are presently monitoring all our movements to see if a full-on electric vehicle will work for us.

That's -76 F

skinny tires.
 

From that angle, the skinny tires really stand out.

Looks like Suzuki tires on that C2.

----This is a way, way early pre-production C2, probably non-running. I won't go over the differences as they are pretty obvious. Would be so cool to find that still in GM's way out storage. I'm just hoping they didn't cut it up.....Bill S

I am not aware if that car still exists. I've never scene it at the Heritage Center or any of the other multiple out of the way storage facilities.

It might even be just a mockup (not a complete driving or trimmed out vehicle).

The Volt I posted on the studio patio the other day was a fiberglass buck. I'm not sure what material you would use to mock up a fiberglass production vehicle (...steel? lol).

That burns me up. Incorrect 71 mirrors on a 70. See it all the time

Just noticed that tomorrow is my seniority date: June 11, 1979.

It was 43 years ago tomorrow that I started at GM.

Wow! Congrats!!! You have certainly made it through a lot of ups and downs with them. Any thoughts on retiring? I have had lots of family and friends retire from there!!

This is a 1966 Charger. Dodge didn't offer Redline tires in 66. But in 67, they came standard if you ordered the new 440 in your Charger

Again a 66 Charger. This one has the Hemi so it should have the Blue Streak tires

An early 1966 Hemi. It's got the correct tires. Plymouth initially didn't use the same engine callout emblem that Dodge did (426/HEMI). Plymouth called their's an HP2: Hemi Powered Plymouth. Here's the emblem:

I think (please correct me if I'm wrong) that Plymouth switched over to the Dodge emblem sometime in January.

I should clarify: I retired in 2019.

There was a big cleansing to get rid of the older mechanical engineers and replace them with younger electrical engineers, to help prepare for gm's new direction, and I got caught up in that net.

It has worked out really well though. I like to say that retirement "was the best decision I never made".
