Default Yes! Wixom Build Posters Are Available

In response to a PM asking about our posters, here is a repost of the original announcement, which was on the "Who Built Your LS9" thread. If you do not follow that thread, you may not be aware that the posters are available to you.

Finally some good news – we have new engine builder posters! Very nice looking too.

The new poster shows all of the builders that worked at Wixom during 2011. Also shown are our managers and support staff. Any builders that left before 2011 will not be shown on the new poster, but there may be a few earlier posters that have become available.

As in the previous poster program, you are asked to make a charitable donation in lieu of payment. While the Ronald McDonald house was the previous suggested charity, your are now free to choose your own. Suggested minimum donation is $50.

In order to receive a poster, please provide your:
• Name
• Address
• Name of your builder
• Model & Year of Corvette
• Details of your charitable donation.

So if you must have the ultimate accessory for your man cave (or woman cave) this is your opportunity. Play your cards right and you can probably get an autographed copy!

Thanks for patiently waiting; now we can send you a new poster! Send me a PM with your details to get your poster.
Of course your personal details will be strictly confidential.
Posters are intended for owners of Wixom built engines.

And thanks to Carl Pickelman, our plant manager, Chevrolet Marketing, and all of our staff for bringing this idea back to reality!

Don


And if you would like your copy signed, please mention that with your order.

Is the poster a quaint artifact (as some have suggested) or valuable provenance? Time will tell...

To order, send me a PM with your information. Thanks!

B squared is still putting together fine engines. And he did a little PR work for us recently at the auto show in Frankfurt, Germany.

Bruce is in top row of poster, second from the left.

Send me (eaglei) a personal message on Corvette Forum with your order info. I will put you on the order file and get the ball rolling.

Orders are usually sent out within a week and will arrive via FedEx.

Default How to find builder name plate

Received a PM asking how to see the engine builder's plaque.

You will need to remove the intercooler trim cover. Just pull it up on each side and the front. There are 4 rubber grommets that secure onto posts on each side of the intercooler, and one in the front. See photo of underside.

On the left side you'll see the plaque with your engine builder's name!!

You can see the rubber grommets (4 on each side, 1 on the front) on the underside of the trim piece that secure it to the engine:

Thanks to Bob who previously posted these shots on the Forum

Good to know there are four mounting posts. I will take mine off this weekend for the first time to see who my builder is and then send you a PM.
