Buick video that was once offerred through the GSCA.
« on: December 01, 2013, 08:30:16 AM »
Fellow members,

   The GSCA is sending me the original video, via the company that has the production rights, of archival Buick footage that they offered to their members years ago. This video was available for purchase through the GSCA for $30.00 or so but hasn't been available for years.
 
   Because my father retired from Buick, I thought this would be a cool Christmas gift for him, not to mention that I'd like to see it myself. I haven't gotten it in the mail yet but should have it soon. I will be taking it Office Depot or someplace similar in order to have them copy it onto a DVD for me. I have no idea what this will cost but thought that I would offer to have extra copies made if anyone would like one while I have it.

    The GSCA only asks that I have the video back to them by the end of December. If there is interest, I will make a copy for you and charge no more than the fee for the copy and shipping to your address. I will probably be making two for myself, just in case, and then I will be sending it right back. Please let me know if there is interest.

    Happy Holidays to everyone.

Walt,

   This is according to their publication, the GS-Xtra. The video has a "shootout"  between a stage one and a hemi, filmed in 1984.

    It has a Channel 2 news segment,  where the TV crew is in the ASC facility filming the production line of the GNX, and some interviews.

    It has a GNX vs. Calloway Corvette from 1987. This is filmed at a drag strip in which the GNX beats the twin-turbo Vette.

    July 1993 Hemi vs. Stage one, round 3.

    GN TV commercials.

    A 1970 GS 455 vs. a 68 Hemi Roadrunner street race.

    1989 coverage of the first NMCA race featuring both GS's and Turbo Regals.

    A "My classic car" feature of John Chamberlains 1970 Stage one.

    A historical segment about the GS, narrated by Paul Zazarine and Tom Shaw. It has each of the GS models from each year along with narrative and examples.

    And, according to the GS-Xtra, much more. I have never seen any of this but was told that the picture probably won't be perfect due to the age of the filming equipment, etc. It says that the video was 3 years in the making.

Will you need a copy right release from them in order to make copies?

I'm not sure. I assume that because they've mailed it to me I have permission but I'll make certain. I've heard that places like Office Depot will ask to verify that prior to them making copies. If nothing else, I'll ask the company to FAX something over while I'm there.

Sounds like a good idea. Don't need any of us having to look over a shoulder.
