got a few emails this morning wanting to know more about the Chevy Display at the North American International Autoshow in Detroit this week...............
We will also feature the SS Concept and the Cheyenne in the GM Concept Studio directly behind the Chevrolet Exhibit.
Chevrolet has two 'salons' -- one is the SS Salon that features a 1/8th scale model of the SS concept, three historic Chevy V8s (327, 409, 396) some great videos of SSs past, present and future -- and other SS stuff.
The second salon is the "Z71 Salon" which features parts and suspension systems from the Z71 package which will be offered over a wider variety of trucks. (also has videos and other stuff...)
(note : Chevrolet has a strategy for both SS and Z71 as we go forward....and in terms of SS, it has to mean something....no longer just decals, nameplates, and stripes...........)
Naturally, the 50th Anniversary Corvette and SSR Signature Series are displayed as well as the rest of the 2003 Chevrolet Lineup.
And at the back of the Chevy Display is the Chevy Motorsports display featuring a NASCAR Monte Carlo, an IRL car, and the C5R Corvette.............along with small video screens and such..............
The GM Experience Mezzanine (stairs go up from either side of the Chevrolet display) offers visitors a lot of stuff.......from the new GM HyWire -- and an NHRA Cavalier -- to a restored 1970 Chevelle SS with modern-day GM Performance Parts Driveline. There is a substantial number of current GM engine displays......and a test Dyno where an LS6 gets put through its paces (talk about loud.......) Also a chassis dynamics "shake test" that shakes a Silverado (quite a torture test) --Also the "GM Proving Ground Theatre" which takes you on a 5 minute run through various testing -- in a very unique audio/visual way. -- some Historic engines and components........and more.........
If you're coming to Detroit between January 11 and 20...make sure to stop by COBO Hall --
