I'm putting together a scrapbook for my '67 GTO. I'm looking for pictures from the GTO assembly plants: GTO bodies, engines, chassis', etc. being built on the assembly line, at end of line, etc. I'm also interested in pictures of the assembly plant exteriors.

I've searched numerous websites and books without any luck. Any suggestions ?

1965 GTO being pin striped:

Those are nice shots...I have seen others in books, though I'd have to look through them to give you titles.

I'd really like to see a picture of an "A" body coming down the 1971 assembly line. I have seen many more pics from 60's assembly than '70's. Didn't workers ever take personal photos on the lines?

Good luck,
Eric H.

Cool old photo's!

I had a buddy that worked as an Engineer at Bethlehem Steel a few years ago. He had some "good" stories. Some were fairly gory. Dangerous work.

Might edit that last pic. HEI & tall valvecovers http://forums.performanceyears.com/g.../icon_wink.gif

Love the old pics, esp the fenders going on with the hinges attached http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...icon_smile.gif Also the stickers on the windshield of the '73, maybe they were used similiarly to inspection marks(?)

Have two long time local aquaintances, one worked at Fremont & other worked at Framingham, both in late 60's, early 70's. Need to quiz them some more, see if either have any old pics, or if any come out at GM retiree functions.

Eric71T37, most factories that I've worked at won't allow cameras in.

Also, do you know what cameras were like back then? http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...on_biggrin.gif

Just like rexus31, I hope someone can post pictures of some Goats lined up on a dealership lot, or maybe outside the vehicle assembly plant waiting to be shipped.
