Re: GM Heritage Center Visit
amazing ID by a PY member. This was just out back sitting under a semi trailer in a dock in the back of the building. Makes you wonder what else is lying around this place.
Looks like the back end of one of the 1966 Pontiac Banshee [URL=http://s114.photobucket.com/user/crabs24/media/pontiac-banshee-920-2_zps1458c8e3.jpg.html][/UR

Re: GM Heritage Center Visit
This was a great opportunity to support the Norwood retirees and have access to a possible once-in-a lifetime collection of historical GM cars. The production cars were high quality and nice to see but the ability to see concept & experimental cars is at the top of the scale.
Corvair Super Spyder Monza SS, GT and Astro I & III Manta Ray Aerovette mid-transverse engine '38 Y-Job, '51 Le Sabre, '53 Le Mans Firebird I, II, III and '59 Cad Cyclone '70 L78 4-Spd Low Mile base '74 Z (sub 16k, no stripes/decals, Jan 3rd wk, 49 state L-82 car) '63 Nova SS Vert '66 Vert low-horse 427 (L-36, 390HP) Much much more... That rear clip hiding under the trailer was screaming Banshee at first sight. Very distinctive flair/curve of the quarters. Paul |

Re: GM Heritage Center Visit
Are the cars on display, original and unrestored cars that never left GM or are they restorations that people loan to the museum for display?

Re: GM Heritage Center Visit
I can speak for at least two that I inspected. Both were restored and looked nice but were not very correct.

Re: GM Heritage Center Visit
There is a mix of everything. Some untouched and nice, some restored correctly and some restored not-so correctly but still a nice car. Only saw a few production cars that never left/never registered.
Here's some Pontiac's Paul |

Re: GM Heritage Center Visit
Very nice! I wish I could've made the trip. Maybe next time if the opportunity presents itself.

Re: GM Heritage Center Visit
We might have a chance again next year. This trip was made by the GM Alumni Club. There were some UAW Local 674 personnel aboard the bus but just a few to test the water so to speak. If there is interest from you guys in sponsorship of another trip, there are plenty of Norwood personnel who either could not go this last time or could not go due to space limitations on the single bus that was chartered.
GM even handed out goody bags, with diecast F bodies when the bus arrived. All reports have been 100% positive on the trip, what a great time--[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img] |
