Description
This is an engineering handout originally done in the plant here in Flint, for an employee meeting on Halloween Day 1969 to familiarize and finalize corporate decisions on the new 1970 Buick GSX--Buick's ultimate answer to high-performance, at least for 1970. This meeting was to inform and update the entire engineering department, as well as other employees, about this new supercar. This has 12 pages and the print is not as clear as copies are today, but this is the best that technology 50 years ago could produce.This is the 2nd one of these I have found, and I've been selling copies of the other one for a while now. But now it's apparent the other 27 page meeting handout was much earlier than this one. There IS some repetition in this one that was in the other one, but the majority of the info in this must have been right before the order was given to start production.
I actually have several copies of these, and the original one came from the estate of another Buick engineer at the factory here in Flint. Oh, did I mention that the whole Buick factory was closed in 1999 and was completely torn down by 2004.
Condition is excellent but is old-technology-copy. The statistics, options and features and photos are interesting! According to my books, they only sold 678, 455 GSX's in 1970. Even though the price was pretty competitive with the other supercars, in retrospect the insurance company had sharpened their knives and were going to work on the American Musclecar. Only 678 GSX's were sold that year? I think it was partially because the insurance companies were making sure it would COST you to own one.
We will pack it in a stiff cardboard mailer. Also, we will consolidate the shipping on two or more listings to save you money. If you buy both of these GSX meeting handouts on my store, I will refund all your postage over the .95 I'm charging to mail one of them.
NOTE: I notice lately that when a customer makes multiple orders from my store, Ebay stacks up all the individual postage costs and customers are having to pay it. I have made a practice of refunding all that extra postage back to the customer's Paypal account and doing it 3 times a week.
