Excellent stuff....anything that helps understand how the General was handling the Copo process from the inside is a great read! . Wow, that Yellowstone lodge Extenda'Burban....wonder what's powering it? . What years did GM offer those V12 motors....always thought they were pretty neat? . The mail and little bus type trucks shown above make me think of that Chevy Experimental truck unit they used when testing at tracks etc....it was from this era. . Had some kind of antennae and data transmission stuff on the roof....maybe even said Chevrolet Experimental on it? . They may have used it when doing that disc brake testing and pad composite research....was it done using Camaros? . Anyone remember this rig? . Great documents....thanks! ~ Pete

WOW, look real closely at the pictures of the guys in the cubicles.
Are they working on Pace Cars for the 67 Indy 500? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Thanks for posting. These vintage articles are great. I believe most enthusiast knew that the copo program was not developed for supercars, but unconventional orders. The example shown are cool, you don't see those vehicle everyday. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Not sure on the years that the v-12 was made. Most people I remember talking to about them said " they were gas engines with 2 distributors, and had running problems most of the time". LOL
