The C10 pickup on the back of the hauler at 12:42 in the video is sweet!

Looks funny, you don't see any desk top computers on the desks of the workers at the logistics center..

Noticed that, that mainframe computer in the room was as big as a dump truck.

Was that silver Camaro at the 11:15 mark a COPO with the big spoiler.

Don Kissinger will attend MCACN this year as a Norwood Ambassador. He ran Rail load out at the plant during this period....should be interesting.

I remember those old steelcase desks like that; all of ours at Chevrolet had "AC Spark Plug" property tags on them.

And those GM work day/holiday calendars (8:41) - still look exactly like that.

Wow, it appears lots of vandalism and damage to cars in transit. This film certainly is a reply to dealer complaints about that damage and shipping delays.
