Whats the name of the book? Great pictures! Thanks, Sam

Sam, the book is titled "The Chevrolet Story" 1911-1969 it has a picture of a blue 69 Impala on the cover with a woman leaning on the left front fender.. Really neat book about the history of Chevrolet, the plants, CEOs etc.... It's an old book, not something you could pick up at the store. They pop up on e-bay from time to time.. It's small, maybe about the size of an owner's booklet/manual for a car..

I've got one of those too. Cool other stuff as I recall. Some cool aerial shots of the various plants.

Those were put out every year for the stockholders.
The newer ones reflected what all the previous years did,
but added the new year sales pics and text on the assembly process as well.
1965-66-67-68-69-70-71-72 etc.
They're great reads..
I have that Football themed SuperSport raffle display shown near the 1/4 panel on that camaro.

They even have a little section on Chevy's first V8 engine from about 1918.

Buy all these sequential year books guys.
I highly recommend them,and they almost turn into picture flip books towards the end.

Thanks for the post Rich. I co-opt (GMI) out of the St. Louis Assy plant back then. As students, we had to work nearly every job on the lines on the Chevrolet side of the plant (also Corvette). If one of you guys has a Corvette with cross threaded body bolts - it was probably me - sorry!
