Default Is there such a thing?

Hi Guys

Just wondering if there is an album of GM factory photos of CMP's (hopefully including the C8AX)

I have an album of factory photo's supplied by Ford New Zealand although the majority are Canadian photo's

Any info much appreciated

Dave

Default GM album

I have seen the GM album (when I was in Canada many years ago) and although there are pics of the Canadian C8A models I don't recall seeing any of the C8AX.

I'm sure one or more of our Canadian members will be able to chime in with more information.

I (for one) would be very interested to see the NZ Ford pics, in particular those peculiar to New Zealand.

I'd love to see the NZ Ford photos as well especially if there are Cab 11 & 12 photos there.

Brian Gough, who posts here, has a copy of the GM Canada album. He kindly allowed me to scan these. I also scanned all of the Ford photos thanks to the now defunct Ford Canada Archives. All of these photos (over 1,000) are on "The Factory Photos" CD froom Service Publications.

Default GM Album

Dave,

Yes, there is an album of GM Factory Photos of CMP's (and some MCP's). I don't know how many photos there are in a complete set but I am fortunate to have quite a few. The C8AX remains elusive on the ones I have.

Clive Law of Service Publications sells an excellent CD that has both the Ford and GM photos on it.

Brian

From the descriptions i've heard the latter would be more applicable
not the most popular MV in service
