Pilot Car Line Specification. Norwood, Ohio –Los Angeles, Calif.

Every once in a while something comes along that catches your attention, but you say “ah, I’ll get it later”, only to find out you’ve missed a golden opportunity. This is one of those times.

Through the efforts of author Phil Borris and his 10 year journey to research the facts, and then produce what is becoming the Holy Grail of GM’s former assembly plant in Norwood, Ohio, ECHOS OF NORWOOD, (www.norwoodassemblyplant.com) here is a booklet that he located through a retiree who worked on the 1967 PILOT Program. It was recently provided to attendees of The Norwood Employee Reunion this past July. Since I was one of the invited guests who also displayed my 1969 L89 Camaro, I was lucky enough to receive one from Mr. Borris.

The information contained within this booklet first surfaced decades ago in the old United States Camaro Club (USCC), but since details of the early “F” car, the Camaro, was clearly not understood at that time, the USCC redacted many of the details.

 BEFORE Chevrolets went into production, there was a pilot car; a car built by hand for fitment, ease of use for production line tools and many other reasons. In separate areas, these cars would be built, taken apart, re-fitted and more. Please read the first few pages as to the contents. It covers 49 NORWOOD-BUILT  “F-Body” Camaros and 10 LOS ANGELES built cars; 3 Camaros and 7 full size Chevrolets’ including the 427 SS Impala. In this  37-page, 5.5 x 8.5 booklet, you’ll find the specific cars, the options they were built with, production dates, delivery date, where they went and who at the dealer was to receive them! There are even personal, hand-written notes from 47 years ago. 

This is a special offering for me since I was an attendee to the above event. So like all my booklets, this is a quality, professional re-production with 100lb bond cover and 25lb brilliant white content pages.
