1967 Chevrolet Corvette String Ray Coupe Split Window.

Brief Introduction:


General Motors (GM) is one of America's largest Automotive corporations as well as one of the leading technology innovators of United States history. Throughout history, General Motors has proven to be one of the leading automotive manufactures and it comes with a style and feel that surpasses many of the best. In this thread you will see some of General Motors' first legendary vehicles as well as some of their latest and greatest.

I was lucky enough to attend a local Ford Model-T group tour of one of General Motors Technology and History centers. This facility is not open to the public and is mainly used for training purposes as well as the unveiling of many of General Motors vehicles; whether it's Saab, Chevy, Hummer or any of the other many badges under General Motors. This was a once and a lifetime opportunity and I was glad I was able to attend and allowed permission to shoot this wonderful event. Especially since this was limited to thirty-five people. Many thanks to those in the corporation for their time and dedication towards this company!
Mind you, this is all from the mouth of a Ford boy..

Nice pics, can't believe GM actually went through with the "skateboard" design for the AUTOnomy.

No expert, but I believe the white firebird with the blue rally stripes that is lined up infront of the other firebirds labled 1970-1995 is a 1969 :wink: . Nice pictures though :D
