That would have been made at Creative, Chevy had their own Display shop. A lot of it split and went to HB Stubbs, then to GPJ, i worked with some of the Creative guys, they would have set that up, I’m trying to think who still around. I did the Auto shows for 25 years, but that was before my time, that display might still be around, after the bailout, 80 semis went to atlanta, crazy they just didn’t scrap the stuff. You might talk to the guys at the heritage center. Greg retired, I don’t know the new guys.
Note the “smoker” in your pic, when I started, we put ashtrays out at events.

That's great information - thanks Burd!

I was shocked it survived as well, sounds like the guy I bought it from bought a bunch of other non-GM stuff with it for cheap back in the day. I didn't even think it was a true auto show piece until I dug up this picture.

If you're able to find anything else out it would be much appreciated!
