Why do people always think there is some type of Area 51 alien conspiracy about not having Chevy records? It was GM's largest division and there would have been literally tons of records that they had no need for, and certainly no extra money to pay for archiving. (sadly).

The smaller divisions like Pontiac were able to save their records due to their small size in relation to Chevrolet. And that is exactly why they were saved, thankfully.

So guys, please dont bring up the old "Chevrolet is trying to prevent lawsuits against them for clones that will be revealed" argument. It has absolutely no basis in reality. (I tell you that as a lawyer and a car guy).

In fact, as these records are considered under the "business records exception" under the rules of evidence, GM would have loved to have gotten paid $100 a pop for the certified copies of each record they could provide for any case. Even better still, getting paid an expert witness fee to provide an actual person to testify to the document would be an even bigger windfall.

Maybe we can start a new reality TV series: Clone Hunters, like the cheesy Ghost Hunter and Bigfoot Hunter TV shows. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
