Re: Petition GM for all GM car info ???
If they released the records just think about the all the lost sales on 66-67 Nova SS emblems, Z-28 emblems, 427 turbo jet emblems, 67 Chevelle SS emblems and so on. It will never happen, unfortunately.

Re: Petition GM for all GM car info ???
Someone at GM must care a little bit about this subject, because I contacted General Motors Media Archives last year and was able to get a copy of the original factory to dealer invioce for my '77 Z28 (sorry, not a supercar!), free of charge. I was told they currently only have access to some of 1977 and all of the 1978 to present invoices, and that they were stored on microfilm. Let's hope that the pre-1977 stuff still exists!

Re: Petition GM for all GM car info ???
This is what the nay sayers have to realize. GM to some extent is already doing this service albeit with the newer cars (post 77). It is also doing it in Canada as everyone knows. Do they receive lawsuits as a result? No. True they are not as exposed however I do not believe this is an issue if we can also sell the responsibility to be good corporte citizens by trying to reduce fraud.
I don't buy them getting sued as a third party over a bad deal. Yes, some deep pocketed fellow who is embarassed he bought a fake car may also include GM in his lawsuit just like someone includes them today because a drunk driver was driving one of their products. This lawsuit would obviously be without merit. Larry, let's do this.

Re: Petition GM for all GM car info ???
There are no lawsuits against GM for providing PHS info because this is a myth created by people with no legal training. I dont mean to belabor the point but as an attorney I can say there is no basis for suing GM for providing any documentation on how a car was orginally shipped.
But you know...turning the whole situation on its head, how about if we all get together and file a class action lawsuit forcing GM to release the info based on the fact that GM has documentation that could authenticate our cars values in the event of a loss? Hmmmmmmmmmm....
