"Tailfins and Bowties" book
For years I've been looking for this book. I know at least one member here has it, but it's been elusive on eBay or anywhere else.
But I finally found a copy, as a friend bought a literature collection from an estate. It wasn't cheap, but it's nice to have a compendium of Chevy data (even if a small portion of it has been published in several books). As an aside, I know a library in the South had a copy, and I told my contact at the GM Heritage Center. Libraries loan things to other libraries, so he was able to score the book and compare it to the Chevy records that the GMHC has. He told me there were some things in the book that were not in the GMHC's records, so it was nice to help him upgrade the level of info available. Not sure where exactly the data from the book came from other than it's from Chevrolet. |

Yeah, but they're different documents than what are currently held by the GMHC. A very large percentage is overlap, but they are two distinct items from what I can gather. I can only guess they each were for different departments.

That's not what my contact told me –*he said there was some new info that weren't in GMHC records, but not much.

Len sold the book(s) based on how many years you were interested in, and priced differently. Mine is just '58-'65. How many years does the complete work include?
I also tried to contact Len a few months ago but never heard anything. I'm wondering if he's still with us? Verne |

Mine goes up to 1978, but I think I've read that it goes up to 1988 from what I read? Hmmm...
