latest Jim M. Chevy records rumor

[Keith Tedford]

In all of my years at GM, I have found very few people in management who have any interest in our hobby. There have been a few exceptions. Check the www.gmcanada.com web site to see the 1908 McLaughlin-Buick Model F that Stew Lowe had restored for the company. Harry Sherry did an incredibly in depth restoration, going so far as to have two new engine blocks cast at the GM St. Catherines foundry. Some GM Oshawa tool and die makers were also involved in the process fabricating various pieces. Hopefully there will be a few Stew Lowes' who will come along to help Jim Mattison along. I think that it would be excellent PR for GM and would stir a lot of interest in their products.

Is there anybody we can write or email to at GM to show them that there are people in support of this project? I'm one person that wants this project to go full steam ahead until it's done.

I think GM wants me to despise them. I have to say I'm sure not my father who is diehard GM guy. Way to alienate your fanbase GM!

GM fan base?

How many that own these cars also own a new GM car or truck? Thats all they (GM) care about today. I know one guy who owns a 1969 original Z28 for about 15 yrs but has never purchased any other GM car and says he never will, loves to drive Fords.

So why should GM care about him?

btw
He rarely drives the Z28, 4th of July etc and all he ever talks about is how much its going to be worth in the future.

Every manufacturer bases their sales on return customers. They have to. When they lose return customers, they need to find out why. I've been driving newer GM cars/trucks ever since I bought my first 69 Camaro. Chevrolet should definitely care about the work Jim has been doing. All I keep hearing anymore is "who do I contact about information on my car?". There's a lot of new people getting into the older car hobby and as the prices rise, people will want some sort of verification of what they're buying.

For one, My driveway and garage are all GM. (no COPO or Yenko here, just a couple of nice RS/SS cars and a Z)
