I like many others on here am upset that GM is not doing anything about the GM Chevrolet & other cars, list that Jim Mattison was trying to accomplish. I do not see what it would hurt for this list to be available to those that are interested and willing to pay for it?
So, with that thought in mind, I would like to suggest that we as a group of interested and mostly GM car people, instigate a petition and present it to GM. It would show them that their customers have a big interest in this list. If they can do it for just the Pontiac people, then why not as a group let them know just how many others are really interested in this matter?
I feel sure that leaders of most of the other GM car forums would be glad to have their respective members sign it. Perhaps if we take the rest of this upcoming year to get as many signatures anywhere we can and then present it to GM, perhaps that would convince them that there is a need for this to happen.
There is power in numbers and perhaps that is what it will take to get GM to open their records to Jim M or someone else. I don't know Jim M. or anything bad about him, but perhaps someone else may have better luck. In my opinion he would be the best one to do it, but perhaps he has a unknown enemy in GM, or Chevrolet, that he is unaware of that is scuttling the project?
I would think that all GM collector car guys would be interested in this coming about. What ever it takes to get this accomplished should be given the old college try. If enough of us sign it then perhaps GM might realize how important it is to history.
Please chime in on this subject if there are other reasons or theorys about this that may affect this happening?
I think we should put the upcoming entire new year as the end of time to get signatures everywhere we can. If we get as many as I think are out there, GM may go ahead and release the info we desire. Either that or we all band together and threaten to boycott their products! (Just kidding)
Chime in and let us know what you think?
