Default Re: Buyer Beware

Pete is absolutely correct. GM Canada records can't be beat. As a point of reference, the only way to COMPLETELY verify the correctness of an Olds "W" car is to either have a totally numbers matching car (which is harder and harder to come by), or HOPEFULLY have a car that was shipped to Canada. The snag revolves around a records vault fire in 1977 in Lansing. All pre-77 Olds records were lost. Therefore, the only records that exist are the GM Canada EXPORT records for those cars. Luckily, my W-31 was a Canadian car, so I have all of the cool GM Canada paperwork - - Bill of Lading with all options associated with serial number, blah, blah, blah ....... neat stuff.

Pete - does George Zappora do all of the GM Canada documentation, or is he only responsible for the Oshawa cars ???
