I had this in 'Favorites' because I went to it all the time for Chevy II/Nova information for the various years. Clicked on it
today and this is what I got:


Going into it further, I could access this:

www.gmmediaarchive.com/?page=3

From what I can gather, the specific vehicle information available in GM Media Archives only goes back to 1977. Bottom line of
GM Media Archives says, 'To download a free copy of the Vintage Vehicle Information package for most Chevrolet models, click here',
but it doesn't take you there. Frustrating!

I hope it's just a glitch, and they fix it. If the Vehicle Information Kits are gone for good, that is very disappointing. I'm glad I downloaded a copy for my particular year, but from time to time I have perused other models.o_O

I've gone through the GM Heritage Center site new format and I don't see the Vehicle Information Kits availability anywhere. This was a great source for factory build information on every year of Chevy II/Nova. Annoying that a great resource we know they have is now gone. Looks like they want money for just about all their vintage services now.

I contacted GM and they said they will no longer offer the kits on their new website. I have several on file if anyone needs them.
Wow, that is really dumb. It can't cost that much bandwidth for a company that size to do a customer relation thing like that.

Oh well, glad I have my hard copy and .pdf for my old pile.

They sure make money on parts after they're sold. It would just be good PR to maintain some records for old car hobbyists, but let's just say GM has made a lot of decisions I don't understand. They must have a reason.

Agreed. Dealers also make a good portion of their bottom line on service as well as parts. Brand loyalty is still very much alive in the automotive world. Why not keep your customers happy and loyal by providing some simple services such as this.

And it goes way, way back. I was looking for information about a 1940 Chevrolet, and I found it there.

This was posted by Custom Jim on November 25th, so we're well covered on the return of this valuable resource.
