Now I can't find it. I remember down loading them. Either they got ate by the recent crash or I have finally filled my brain with so much worthless info that I am now forgetting things.

Good question, I suppose that it was on VHS tape, then transfered to DVD and finally converted to Windows video format.

Those videos look like sales material given to dealerships to train their sales people on the party line. Every Pontiac dealership would have had them and most probably threw them away. I got one from 98, not anything really informative but cool nonetheless. If you have an older Pontiac dealer in your area you could ask if they have any out dated sales material that they may want to get rid of. Some times you hit gold.

I have a friend who worked at the Pontiac dealership before it closed. He grabbed it and the 98 Product info binder when they tried to throw them in the trash. It is always good to have friends looking out for you!!

I tried calling my local dealerships, but they told me that annother local car buff came in a few months earlier and cleaned out all of their "vintage" stuff. Timing is everything!!!
