That's a good find, I have the same thing for my 81, but they weren't originally intended to be posters. They were used as pages in a large, stand up, binder type of display, that all the Chevy stores had in their showrooms. There were pages for every one of the Chevrolet models, and included information, photos, paint chips and fabric samples.
There were also an assortment of showroom posters made each year. One of the most common, and most popular among collectors, were the annual 18" by 32" posters of individual models. These were printed on the same type of cardboard backing, as your "pages", and were displayed in woodtone or bare aluminum frames. The images used on the showroom posters were often printed on postcards too, that dealers could mail to prospective customers.
The 82 Corvette dealer showroom poster has a 3/4 left front view of an 82 Collectors in the foreground, and a right side view of a silver over dark Claret 82 in the background. The same image was used on a postcard in 82 also. Now you have some more things to hunt for at swap meets and on eBay!
By the way, even though your pages were originally intended to be posters, there's nothing that says you can't use them that way.......that's how I use mine.

Nice score on the 82 info. I have a few 82 things similar to that and also have some rare 84 info that was given to me from an engineer that worked on the 84 project at GM. Met him at a car show a few years back and he was impressed with what I had done with my 82 and he knew a lot about CFI and was a blast to talk with. He left and about an hour later he returned with a huge amount of 84 info, books, drawings etc... He said that I would probably appreciate the material more than anybody else and handed it over to me. I was amazed at all the stuff he gave me and he wouldn't take any cash for it. Wow! What a score that was.
