Camaro Thunder pic in '91 brochure?

Does anyone have a good clean picture of the group of Camaros together that appeared in the '91 brochure? It would make an awesome poster for the garage. I hung one up back in '90 and taped the two pages together but was hopeful that somewhere a better (non-two piece) version exists.

Or maybe a pic from the '92 brochure of the 2 Z28s that isn't in 2 pieces? Or of the red '91 Z?

I contacted Chevrolet Media Archives a few years ago and had them reproduce that picture for me. I had it enlarged to 4 feet in length. They did a very nice job cleaning up the details (since the original was an 8x10 photo in portrait mode that was cropped and enlarged for the brochure). It cost me over $300 and is 1 of a kind. I even had to sign a contract stating the picture would not be displayed in a dealer or sales showroom. Here's a shot of my old houses basement with the picture in it.

Here is a better pic of what you're looking for. Again, I would contact GM Media Archives in Detroit.

See? Does that NOT look Better??? All you need now are some Camaro pix back there...

just an FYI for all you guys that are following the T-shirt Saga... I am planning on making a Large Poster with all Camaros, and one of all Firebirds for thirdgenners... (might do a Third Gen poster of all of them.)

At this time I am actually (mentally) planning out a layout for the cars I am drawing. I want EVERY year, and Every Model...

(This will probably be next year some time by the time I actually get it done.)

Thank you. That is exactly the pic I was looking for. I can't swing $300 for one right now but maybe I can get a smaller one from them. That is such a cool picture.

Any chance you still have their contact info? # or address?

..and nice room. I like it. Reminds me of my house with car pictures all over. My g/f makes fun of me but oh well..

I had a lot more Camaro related items on the walls with more posters and all, but I had to take them down so the room looked better when we were selling the house. I'll try and dig up their phone number for you.


I found it online.

I see the reflection, but I have no clue what made it. The basement was fully sub-grade and the egress windows were in a large box style hole. A lot of light came thru those windows, but the only thing out there was grass and gravel in the window pit. Below is a pic of the backyard from the master bedroom. To keep this on topic, every picture ever used by Chevrolet in the brochures, advertisements or dealer showrooms is available from the media archives. The reason they charged me $300 fro the pic was because of the size and the paper. This is NOT poster paper. They enlarged the photograph and redeveloped it on Kodak paper. The paper is very heavy weight. They sent me proofs and all while they were trying to sharpen the image and make it look clean while enlarging it. I think it looks great and it was the most expensive picture I ever purchased, cuz it's 1 of a kind and was created for me!!
