    Good morning Lyn,

    I wouldn't have known that these cars are GM marques. I saw a small Chevrolet at the weekend and presumed that it must be GM to be in UK - and I just checked to make sure! Pity that such a large company is in danger of disappearing.

    We have suffered differently over the years in UK, as all our 'symbols of Britain' (Rolls Royce, Bentley, Jaguar, Range Rover) have been sold off to outside companies!

    I love cars built up through the 70's - autos are some of the best sculpture on the planet!

    So, it's true that GM are going down. and look at these beauties. It's funny that we still have some of these cars rolling on the streets of Cuba, and the rest of Cuba, too. Many thanks for the post.

    Greetings from London.
