Chevrolet historical docs

[juliosz]

I looked at some other stuff on the Heritage Center web site and found an interesting statement under the FAQ:

"Question: Where can I find the records that you do not have?
Answer: For Buick records prior to 1982, contact the Alfred P. Sloan Museum. For Pontiac records prior to 1987, contact PHS. While we continue to search for original build records and dealer invoices for Chevrolet, GMC, and Oldsmobile vehicles built prior to the 1977 model year, there is currently no resource available from which to obtain this information."

Long shot but at least it sounds like they're interested in finding the pre 77 Chevrolet stuff.

I visited the Heritage Center this summer and specifically talked about the whole document thing with them. There may still be a chance that docs exist. The problem is that there is so much documentation stored in many archives that it would take years to sift through it all. I am well familiar with the story of a few folks running through the documentation 20 - 30 years ago and found nothing as well as the story about everything burning up.

Let's just say it would be difficult to convince GM to pay for a team to hunt this stuff down.
