GM's heritage center

I was fortunate to visit this as part of a Corvair Convention in Pontiac Mich. in 2005 I think?

Some of the Oldsmobiles shown in the video were at the Centennial Celebration in Lansing Michigan in 1997. The red 1970 442 W-30 and the curved dash. They had an 1897 Curved dash in a sealed glass cage to protect it. No photos of it were permitted.

This was really well done!

The W-30 El-Co is very well done also. . I had a 1946 Chevy El Camino saved from eBay. It was made in & for Australia only. R. hand drive.

Love the 442 ute. Was it part of GM or a custom? Sleeper - The Ute is cool -I like Aussie Utes Saw something a few years ago about a Holden V8 Ute looked like a sister to the last GTO

These were in the Heritage center. Bad lighting-they never had all of the lights on for us. Top left camaro style camino pace truck. I have a plastic 1/24 toy that looks alot like it. top right- Brazil 50's pick-up Bottom left -Cool fiberglass -blue is a panel
