I live in greater Detroil and I have to say I have never seen these on a billboard. The Chevy venue was giving out these posters free at the Woodward Dream Cruise the last few years. You can buy the posters, framed and unframed from the GM Photo Store. There are many more like this that are classic Chevys.

There were about 25 different posters given out free and then later years sold at the Chevy booth at the Dream Cruise from 2002 through 2007. Several of these posters (politically correct) were used as billboards along Woodward and along some of the main cross streets such as 8 Mile Road prior to and shortly after the cruise week.

I'm also in the Detroit area, and dont recall seeing the GM billboards. Also at the Woodward cruise, and saw some of this stuff around, but prefer empty arms at these events. Actually know a few guys with original local Detroit area plywood drag strip signs hanging in their garages. No idea how they got there, and dont ask.

GM has been selling most of the Corvette-related billboards on T shirts for about 4 years now.

Isn't that the truth!!! They don't even put his phone number on the billboard anymore. All the sign says is "Call" and then there's a picture of him (Sam Bernstein, an over media played lawyer here in the Detroit area). Spot on with the blonde chick too!
