    [/FONT]Is working on digitizing and has so far made a lot of Chevy and some Olds and Cadilliac info available.


    NEW! Over 800 Chevrolet Vehicle Information Kits from the Heritage Center Archive are available for download free of charge. The packages contain basic specifications and equipment availability for most Chevrolet vehicles from 1913 to 2007. Click here to browse and download Vehicle Information Kits.
    You may also order a printed copy of a General Motors Vehicle Information Kit. Click here to order GM Vehicle Information.

    Its time for us Buick guys to stop hoarding info - and share not just the pride , but also our collective knowledge as we do in bits and peices here on the forum.

    The Boattail Registry is collecting and has a really good start on similar info for 71 -73 Riviera's, this has been a huge task in its self that i have been working for 8 months now.

    To get Buick represented in the GM Heritage Center Archive sooner, and made available to everyone thru them - If we could collect/sort this info for Buicks ourselves, like was done for Olds 442 and send to them.

    I'm willing to take on the task of sorting and building Buick info kits, for all years and models with your help and inputs.
    - Just send what you have via the Boattail Registry Donate Documents, note free Photo flip book, and/or a cleaned / searchable / bookmarked PDF of your submissions - only applies to boattail inputs it would be to much for me do this for all inputs - the data for others will be made into pdf (info kits) and go to the Heritage Center

    Please send what you have for any Buick in separate uploads by year and model, sub model - ie 1 upload for skylark , another for GS, another for GSX
    another for Sportwagon - repeat common info in each.
    This will make it easier for me to combine all the submissions and organize it all into info kits - that can be forwarded on to the Heritage Center archive.

    Anything that references/includes 71 -73 Riviera will immediately be added to the Boattail Registry Library.
    Other data will be collected and sent to heritage once a reasonable amount (see the current info Kits) for each is collected.

    I have a contact there. Should I post it so everyone knows where to send it?

    Additionally, there's the Automotive History Preservation Society, which is a part of Wilda About cars. I am a part of that group:
