Is that an old fashioned MP3 player?

That is very cool, Looks like it never saw the light of day since 1992
I appreciate the paper trails as much as the cars themselves. All part of the story

Any guesses what's on the cassette tape?
I'm going with either Bon Jovi, Van Halen, or maybe Def Leppard as an alternate

Always cool when you have documentation and brochures on old cars. The cassette is something I've never seen, I assume it teaches the owner about all the radio controls.

I wonder if by chance the tape was a dealer sales item? Maybe something the
new owner would listen to to learn about the features, or possibly dealer sales
person training? You would think if they came with the vehicles when they were new,
there would be quite a few still floating around?
"new vehicle features" kinda sounds like training verbiage?

But then you would think the case would say something to that effect & it doesn't appear to.

GM included the tapes in the late 80's/early 90's in vehicles for owners. They didn't last very long. I have one for one of my past vehicles in my boxes of old manuals and sales literature.
