Hey guys, So about 10 years ago i was able to get In contact with someone in the Pontiac division about some questions i had about the Fiero. I also asked if they had any pictures of the plant laying around that i would be interested in seeing them. A couple of days later my email inbox was loaded with pictures. I believe there is about 80 of them. Pictures of the last 2 Fieros coming off the assembly line, pictures of the mill and drill machine, testing, and so much more! If you guys are interested i would be happy to post them on the site!

It might be a whole lot easier for you, instead of individually posting them here (which would involve file/image size constraints etc), to upload the whole folder of them to something like
Dropbox .

I believe there were 38 images and one PDF in the zipped file. Thanks for making them available. Are there more to come?

The PDF file contains only 2 pages. Is this correct?

In the PDF they stated the spaceframe weighs 600 pounds... is that correct? I always thought it weighed more than that.

That was an early pilot car. The wheels are Chevy Wheels and the seats just did not have the stripes yet,. Even today they mix parts on pilot cars.
