    Well now I know why it is soooo difficult to find parts. My source, GM Vintage Vehicle Services.
    I had orginally sent for the paperwork in the fall 2010 and this one page was missing from the package. However I didn't know that until recently when I was communitaing with Dave Weir at Canadian Chevelle and Beaumonts. So the short version is I had to pay a few more $$$ to get this missing page.
    This page also confrims the interior and exterior color, production plant and date, shipping date and dealer. Also the engine size and a list of options.

    Truely worth waiting for. (y)

    It's pretty neat having the GM info in hand. One very rare wagon indeed. What I did with the Chevelle info was photocopied it, put the originals away, and keep the copy to show folks when asked about the cars originality, etc.

    Last night when I was showing it to mom and sis I was a bit nervous that something would happen to it, I already have it in my go to work pile to do just that!

    It was REALLY important to me to have all this info verified...eee. :p

    Actually I've seen people who have plasticized a copy and put it on their dash at car shows. It answers a whole lot of questions for people who might otherwise either shrug and walk away, or cause you to repeat the stats many many times every time you are at a show.

    Those documents are very important for you and when at some time in the way-down-the-road future someone else. The way the world is going our cars are going to be even more unique than they are now with so many being crushed or just withering away. Who knows, your Fannie may end up in a museum some time down the long road.

    It's funny you should mention this(putting in plastic), great minds think alike. A guy at work suggested the very same thing after I showed it to him...great suggestion, I'll be doing this, thanks. :)
