Enjoy!!!

Whew!
I got(d-loaded) all of these off of the CAC site several weeks ago. Don't know if they are still up over there, tho. There are several other series of shots from St. Louie from earlier years, too.(I've got some from the late 50s/early 60s) It's fun to look thru and see if ya recognize your car on the line!
It's also kewl to be able to sorta see how the cars were assembled, and get an idea of how much goes into them.

Love the photos of the vettes.
Just wondering if the two isolated Red ones up against the building are in quarantine with canker sores.
Many thanks

Doubt if my baby is in the pictures unless you have one from Dec. 3, 1973.  Thanx for the pictures, they are great and you can just imagine being there.
