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 ? |

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. Uneasyrider

Might edit that last pic. HEI & tall valvecovers
 Love the old pics, esp the fenders going on with the hinges attached  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?

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.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
