Chevrolet Vintage Advertisements

[Keith Seymore]

When I first started at the Desert Proving Ground the manager's name was Norm Brown.

Like pretty much everybody that worked there, Norm was originally from Michigan.

He told me that when he worked at Chevrolet Central Office it was pretty common for the photographers to walk by and, catching you visiting with one of the attractive young secretaries (who all looked like the young lady below it seemed) would say "C'mon - we're going to lunch".

Next thing you knew you would be sitting next to a Vega in a picnic scene, in a photo destined for use in advertising or hanging in the hallway of the Tech Center.
