RAIV and RAV more continuation....

[Steve_Hoog]

I've posted this once but want to bring it back now, has new meaning with the drawings. This is the Pontiac MI plant as visited by our former employee, Roy Phillips.

Note: “our” is in no way claim on my part to ownership of the dealership. I just work here and don’t even have a title.

This is the Black Judge from earlier in the thread as it is today running in Kansas City.

That's a cool overhead you can see it was about 2 blocks away from the assembly line.

[Steve_Hoog]

The place must have been mind blowing to see, imagine car bodies on the third floor taking up over 2 football fields. WOW. To get around in all the buildings must have been difficult; I can see why a straight 2 block shot out in the open may seem like right out the door. It looks like they may have staged the transport trucks right outside #49 and there was a 2 block type road straight to the engineering building. That’s just a guess. These were samples from a fax; I will have hard copies and a more complete layout in the mail within the next days which will be cool. And there may be some more detailed accounting of how it ran.


Correction: The Black Judge now blue is based out of Kansas City.

3. "maybe" Purely PMD car if it's not Mulikin's

Probably more out there, wouldn't be surprised that George Delorean would have some and several other people in the Michigan area.

You tell me what pieces Kevin Yash and Pete McCarthy (or who has the stuff he photographed) have and how many to look for and I'll see what I can come up with.

[Steve_Hoog]

I would be willing to bet that most of these un accounted for peices are in the Michigan area, last year when I was calling people ALL kinds of confusions were coming out about who took what out the back door. If I took notes, I don't remember what I did with them. I think Yash had the line on some of it. Tracking the peices down wasn't my mission, so I didn't take as much care with the information as I should have.

Dang it!!!
