We should probably be calling this the Printer Killer. The GM Heritage Center which contains the historical archives of the company, a massive collection of GM vehicles, and perhaps more automotive data than anywhere else on Earth has made information packages for virtually all vehicles built from 1913 to 2007 free and available to anyone with internet access!
Previously you’d need to send away for this stuff but now it is literally a click away by hitting the link at the bottom of the page. These dryly named “information packages” are technical and engineering documents on each vehicle. We already raided the 1987 Caprice documents for all the cool info on Buford and his smaller family members from that year. These babies aren’t small either. We were looking at the 1970 Chevelle document and it had to have been 100 pages or more.
Everything from body specs to engine specs to every available option, their codes, etc, is there. We cannot imagine how many years it took to scan all this stuff in, but suffice it to say, there are probably interns that rue the day they ever see a scanner again.
They are all in easy to read PDF files and can be zoomed in on if your eyes aren’t tip top. You could kill a year of Mondays gawking and learning about old Chevrolet products in here. You could also deforest the entirety of Canda if you printed them all!
Take a quick walk to the fridge, get abeer,get comfy, and hit the link below. Your day is officially junk from here on out (aside to your multiple trips back to BangShift to read the blog!)
