1970 Dealer Training\Introduction Film
72droptop replied to 72droptop's topic in General 70-72 Monte Carlo Forum
I only have about 8 of the training kits; i'm still trying to get my head around how you store all those kits from 1930's to 1973😄. that's awesome! -
1970 Dealer Training\Introduction Film
72droptop replied to 72droptop's topic in General 70-72 Monte Carlo Forum
It is 35MM film. after i picked up the kits I searched for projectors with the same name of the company that produced the kits for Chevrolet. after that, a little more searching brought to this unit. it's a manual film advanced. if you listen closely, you can hear a low beep that signals you to advance the film to the next picture. All this because my MC is in hibernation until Spring and i don't want to paint the living room! -
1970 Dealer Training\Introduction Film

I'm glad folks are liking it. here's the project\record player setup....very old school. i used a rubber band to hold my cell phone to that flex arm i rigged up.

I picked up some original Chevrolet Dealer training kits. one of the kits i have is for the introduction of the 1970 MC. just having this kit wasn't good enough...i wanted to see and hear it. So I hunted down one of the old Projectors used by the dealerships. The projector has a record player built in and the film advances manually. i used my cell phone and recorded the film and audio. i uploaded it to YouTube (first for me). The link to the film is below. Enjoy

What did you do to your Monte Carlo today?
72droptop replied to Canuck's topic in General 70-72 Monte Carlo Forum
i had a paint correction done this week. Really made a difference. amazing how it turns out when someone knows what they're doing...and it wasn't me!🤣

thanks for the info. I appreciate getting any history on the car. I would have loved to get the parts!

Well that explains one of the pictures in the glove box. i knew of the 2 and was told they were "his and hers". nothing about a third so i didn't know what to think. i sure didn't think someone would have 3 identical cars.🤔

thank you all for the great welcome! i've been at the GM show in Carlisle for the past few years with another car. i have to say it was seeing this group here and the others with first gens at Carlisle that gave me the bug to get one. It took a few years (and a kitchen remodel) before i got it...but i finally did!
