Well then i have to ask the question of Pontiac is a GM and Jim found the records for them, So why Pontiac and not Chevrolet?

[/ QUOTE ] The author of the article Art Armstrong explains "The other GM divisions, Cadillac, Pontiac, etc., had much smaller production volumens and interpreted the GM Records Retention Policy differently and therefore retained said documents."

Sounds pretty clear to me. The record keepers at the Pontiac division just weren't as quick to pitch their records in the dumpster, and not because they had any great foresight or because they had any intentions of releasing them to enthusiasts, but because the paperwork simply didn't stack up quite as quickly at Pontiac as it did in the Chevrolet offices. Sounds to me like the Chevrolet paperwork is MIA and has been for some time.
