Where I live, about 40 miles East of the former Norwood plant, I often meet ex employees of Norwood(either side of the plant) and the Fisher stamping plant in Hamilton, Oh., as well. I usually start the conversation asking if they like old cars or Camaros. I have met several guys this way. I met one guy who did the roof leading, then got promoted to windshields. Another, put on door panels, and so forth others have shared their Camaro experiences.
Recently, I met a guy who lives close to me. He was a traveling Representative for the Hamilton Fisher stamping plant. He went on to tell me that he ordered a coupe in the '67 model year. This is where he piqued my interest. He told me when the car was built, several "extras" were done to his car. I have no reason to disbelieve him and his mind was vivid and sharp. He told me that although the car was a coupe, they built it with convertible rockers and put the stiffener brace underneath the car as well. He also told me that the paint and finish were Way above the typical line car and personal inspections were done at several points on the line. Now, I am not trying to start folklore here, but has anyone else known an employee of GM to get such treatment other than Detroit Brass like Knudsen, Estes,et al.?
