91/92 Firehawk factory photos?

Anyone have any factory photos of the 91/92 Hawks?

Only ones I have are these two at what I assume is at SLP factory.

yea you would think there would be a lot more photos of them, being they are from the 90’s. Heck you can find more photos of 60-70 year old cars than the early 90’s Firehawks.

Not sure if this is at Slp but it does look period correct.

I'm really surprised how few photos theyre are of 3rd generation firehawks. I know of the few magazine articles and the promo videos but not much else. It would have been awesome to see an actual production video of these cars but you would have thought these cars were from the 20's not the 90's.

Re: 91/92 Firehawk factory photos?

In part SLP was about selling the cars, not taking pictures of the production, not only that they were probably to some degree concerned with any proprietary information that might be gleamed from internal pictures.
There were only 25 made, in a 2 year span, so it is no surprise that there are few pictures of them, interestingly there are pictures of most of them and they are well documented.

Yeah, I can't imagine Ed and his son would have welcomed a photo crew into their facility without tight controls, just like most companies.

I hear ya I know they weren't mass produced heck most folks don't even know they exist except for us thirdgen nuts, but would have been nice to see more documented assembly production.
