Down at the end of this post is an e-mail I personally received from Ford
concerning the mention of the GM commercials...so SOMEONE wants them!

Chevy,when I offered them some old Lps from the 50s.1953 radio
commercials,aindustrial musicals,and such.Not copies,but the actual LPs.

Hi Steven, My name is Terry Hoover and I'm the archivist at The Henry
Ford Museum in Dearborn Michigan. A fellow archivist sent me your post
regarding the GM material. Since we have a large collection of
automotive material we would be interested in providing a good home for
your commercials. We have some later video GM commercials but nothing as
early as the ones you have discovered so they would be a nice addition
for our researchers. Let me know if you haven't placed them yet.



Have a good day.
