Had the opportunity to go to the GM Heritage Center last weekend.
Here is some info about it; The GM Heritage Center serves as a showplace for the vehicles of the GM Heritage Collection, and as the home of the Heritage and Media Archive. Located in an 81,000 square foot facility in Sterling Heights, Michigan, the Center has approximately 200 vehicles on display, while the Archive houses 15,000 linear feet of shelving containing significant documents, manuals, brochures, and artifacts documenting GM's rich history of innovation. The Heritage Center is primarily used for GM internal events and meetings. Though not open to the public for daily visits, the Heritage Center can be used as a meeting or event center, with the capability to host gatherings of up to 500+ guests. http://www.gm.com/corporate/about/heritage/about/index.jsp A link to my pictures; http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f400/roa...nter/?start=all (IMG:http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f400/roadracerwhite/gm%20heritage%20center/P8230464.jpg) (IMG:http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f400/roadracerwhite/gm%20heritage%20center/P8230485.jpg) (IMG:http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f400/roadracerwhite/gm%20heritage%20center/P8230369.jpg) (IMG:http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f400/roadracerwhite/gm%20heritage%20center/P8230367.jpg) |

Schweet! I love the looks of the 1994 25th anniversary. Do you know if those only came with autos?

My office is in the same drive as the Heritage Center. You passed right by me! If I'd known you were coming we could have had lunch!
I've never been there myself... Seriously. I've heard it's invite only, or something. I never really tried. |

Wow. Behind that line of Riviera's you show there is a White '64 Riviera GS, my first car. There's a 68 Fleetwood. 50 Cad. So many memories.
Very nice. |

If they (GM) don't unscrew themselves and soon, the Heritage Center will have to add a display with two closed doors and a padlock...
