My office mate (at the time) participated in the event on Black Lake. My involvement in the above was (a) making Dave Miller aware that such a thing existed, and (b) connecting him with some of the other participants.

Mr Miller was so dedicated to accurately reproducing the car that, when he found out the original car was a yellow vehicle painted orange, he found a yellow donor vehicle so that he could do the same.

One of the "old" guys at work was telling me that, back in the "halcyon days" at Chevy (back when it wasn't sexist to have cute secretaries) the Marketing guys would swing by and say "hey, whateryoutwo doing for lunch?" If the reply was "nuthin" then he would say "C'mon - we're going on a picnic".

Since my friend was usually sniffing around the cute secretary's (plural) desk he got invited too.

Photos like those would end up in the brochures, just like products of the more premeditated shoots.
