we need a section to discuss stuff related to history. like how rare is this or that option, or how this or that piece came on the car from the factory (in case someone is restoring his Bonne). we could post old advertising ads from back then. & people that have some cool info & facts form bonneville history can post it here. like Bonneville conceps from GM & stuff like that.
I personally have some stuff that I would like to post, but dont see a place where it would fit the requisits other than the launge.

BUMP.

I still support this idea. I think A LOT of topics could be aggregated into a Bonneville History / Restoration section. Particularly ads and commercials,etc which get lost in the Lounge.

Counterpoint:

Ads and such are typically in General Chat where they don't get buried.

Restoration is typically in Detailing and Appearance.

We don't have a high percentage of classics here, and never did.

What do these other sections fail to offer (argue this out, just tossing out the administration point of view while trying to insure the forum doesn't get 'long in the tooth' with seldomly used sections).

I have another suggestion... Why not gather all the history and make a Wiki? Seriously, it's a great way to organize everything and it's very easy to get started

Don't we already have that with our Wikipedia article? We could just improve that.

I see your point Bill - not much of a dire need for a section dedicated to it. There are already a few sections that see scant use.
