Those photos were taken at GM Photographic at the Tech Center in Warren. The photographic center was capable of reproducing almost any scene you could imagine. Many of the brochure photos were taken there as well as most of the advertising and promotional pieces. As far as I know most everything was destroyed on purpose to prevent liability issues. In the 30s 40s and even the 50s many of the prototypes wound up in private hands and local scrap yards. I even used to see Ford products there as well that the GM engineers were studying and they were also destroyed. GM had their own little scrap yard right at the tech center. I would bet anything that 67 Camaro pre production vehicle was certainly destroyed.

they show it and talk about it in the promotional film THE CAR OF TODAY and they mention how that it would not run but it looked like a real car sitting parked ,
