Last 1992 Camaro Story
Many of you already know the story of the last 1992 Camaro and that Leonard, a member here, owns the car and got to tour the Van Nuys assembly plant to see the car built. Leonard has a website where his story can be read:
http://www.last1992camaro.com/

Leonard was recently on a local (to the Van Nuys area) podcast to share the story. It's on a different level to actually listen to Leonard tell the story. The podcast is a great 46 minutes worth listening to:

Leonard, that was a great interview and I enjoyed listening to you share the story once again!

Re: Last 1992 Camaro Story
It was great to hear Leonard tell this story, I have read it several times on the cars website. My car was one of the end of the line base models built before Leonard’s on August 12, sequence #66615. It is great to hear the story of the same dedicated workers that built my car.

He didn't want to break the bad news to ya. So I will. When the time comes, Leonard is gifting that bad boy to me. He wants the car to go back to Iowa where it was purchased new.
