Hey Guys, I was under the impression that only the camaros were assebled in the (norwood) & (van nuys) plants. but I came across a pic of a camaro & a bel air on the line together. :confused: I didnt know that, so that must of been a huge plant with multipule body styles going through.:thumbsup: http://webpages.charter.net/k30ssrs/Reference%20pictures/Vintage%20assembly%20line%20pic%202.JPG

Van Nuys did several car lines. Norwood did only Camaros until around spring 1969 when Firebird moved there from Lordstown.

That's not a Chevrolet plant. That's some of the guys on E-pay making "numbers matching" rare and expensive restorations. :noway: On a more serious note I used to see pictures like that in old Hot Rod mags etc. A guy gave me some of his in the 70's. I have some with the first test drive of the new Camaro in 1966. Can you believe 40 years ago? I've got one with the Yenko 68 test drive. They said they had the best ET starting out in 4th! I wish I could scan and share. Anyone know what the laws are on that? Is there a time frame for copyrights to expire?
