Anyone know how many camaro and firebird magazine advertisements where made?
I have started to collect camaro magazine advertisements and I have a few firebird ones as well. I wanted to know how many where made if I could get a list so I could mark them off as I get them. When I get them I will scan them so we can have them on this site. The only ones I have right now are a few overseas ones. But I do have some that are in my uncle’s old car mags that I have to go through. Thanks for all the help.

Does GM have a press department which may be able to help you, depending upon their records?

They do have a department that handles this stuff. I contacted them requesting info about commercials. I was sent a list of all the commercials that involved Camaros. I could purchase VHS quality commercials from them. I requested more info on how to get DVD quality commercials and was told they can't do it.
Contact the Media Archives and see if they can steer you in the right direction.

Hell, even VHS quality would be nice! Especially for Pontiac's F-body 
Scott, did you get a ballpark figure for prices?
(Hope you guys don't mind the slight thread hijack)
Cheers,
Mark.

The list I received was not only Camaro but any ad that had Camaro in the title. Some were training videos for the all models in a given year that also included the Camaro.
Below is one of the titles:
CHEVROLET CAMARO FIREBIRD 1992 4/29/1992 CHEVROLET CAMARO FIREBIRD
I called the lady that sent them to me asking for a price and here was her response.
Hi Scott,
The cost for duplication onto VHS will range from $1.15 - $2.40 a copy. Length of the footage determine's stock length used.
Thanks,
I don't want to post her name and contact info here. PM me.
