I got the good fortune to visit GM heritage building today for a training seminar for work. If you are not familar with this place, here is a overview. The GM Heritage Center serves as a showplace for the vehicles of the GM Heritage Collection, and as the home of the Heritage and Media Archive. Located in an 81,000 square foot facility in Sterling Heights, Michigan, the Center has approximately 200 vehicles on display, while the Archive houses 15,000 linear feet of shelving containing significant documents, manuals, brochures, and artifacts documenting GM's rich history of innovation.

The car collection is not open to the public.

here are some quick pics I took.

It is to bad it is not open to the public. When I found out my training was going to be at the center, I asked if I could bring my camera. I was told yes, but no tripod. You can not touch the cars and most of the cars they had parked real close together due to the seminar. I was standing next to one car form the early 1900's and I was told it's value is over $1,000,000.00!

Sweet. That late 50's Corvette convertible is my dream car (looks like a 59, maybe - they changed to a mesh grill from that toothed grill for the early 60's and the earlier models didn't have twin headlights...)

according to the sign in front of the car, it is a 1960 model and I would love to own that car.
