Thank you everyone!

Mo, actually the hardest part was getting in touch with someone who could actually help me at GM. Once I explained everything to the VP, we started to then talk about mu uncle's two 67 Z28'S and his 71 454 SS Chevelle. I sent him pictures and he loved the cars. He was more than happy to send me over a letter. I actually received it that same day by email. There are still some good people in executive positions out there who truly understand the passion people have for these cars.

Thank you everyone for your help when I asked if anyone from GM worked here since the Monument Company wanted permission from GM to use the picture of his car. Took 9 months, but a VP from GM wrote me a letter and the stone has been placed. Since several people wanted to see it when it was done.....here it is. Thank you all for your friendship to my Uncle, I know he loved it here in the forum.

Ronnie's Niece,
Tina C.

I recieved the proof from the Monument Company,  once the plaque is placed in the cemetery I will get a photo, but this an idea of what it will look like (cemetery requires a bronze plaque where he is located)

Trust me, I will be looking at all options because these cars meant the world to my Uncle. There is no way his stone won't have a 67 Camaro on it if I can help it!!! Just trying to get permission first since the company already cashed the deposit,  but if I can't get it I will be asking for it back to figure something else out.

I am open to anything at this point, but trying to get the permission first, if possible. Just very disappointed because I was hoping to have the headstone on his grave before the end of the year. Doesn't look like that will happen now due to this setback.

This is the photo of my Uncle's car that we sent them and the layout we sent for his headstone. I didn't put the word Camaro or Chevrolet on the stone.

I didn't request any words, just the image of the car. And you cant really see the word Camaro on the side. They said due to the stance of the car, they feel they need permission to etch it into the stone. So their legal team is requiring the permission form to be filled out from GM.

Thank you!! I just sent a PM. The Monument Company told me on the phone today that they sent the picture I want etched to their legal department who decided they need the trademark permission paperwork filled out. If I can't get permission,  they won't etch the car into the bronze plaque.

I was wondering if there were any GM employees on this forum who might be able to help me with something. My uncle who passed, who some of you know as Budbrewer1, LOVED his 2 67 Z28'S.  I want to have the image of his 67 RS Z28 etched into his bronze headstone but the Monument company is requiring me to get permission from GM first. I emailed the GM Licensing department but have not heard back yet. So figured I would reach out here to see if anyone might be able to help me get my foot in the door with someone at GM to get permission.

Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to give me.

Tina, I was at AACA HQ today and Rick was telling me about these two cars. We are waiting to see them at Hershey. The race car class would be good for the White one. You get to show off on Friday in the stadium too by taking a few laps while they describe the car and it's history. I live VERY close to Hershey show. If you have any questions contact me off the forum.

Thank you!! We won't be able to make it this October, but we will be there next October with the red one. Still working on Estate stuff so our hands are a bit full, but we will be there next year!!! This is the car right after it was finished.

Truly sorry to hear about your loss.
It is great that you are keeping it in the family and showing it in AACA.
There are a handful of AACA members here in the forum. If you have questions,  ask away.
As for the GM Emergency Kit,  the normal rule of thumb in AACA is to not display an unattached accessory unless it is in original condition as you will get a one point deduction for condition. But since you already have your Senior, a one point deduction is no big deal. Never seen one on a Camaro,  but the two I have see were right next to the spare.
BTW, those kits bring a small fortune on EBay!

Thank you for the advice!!! The kit has all the original parts with it and is in the original GM box. The box is a bit brown from age, would they take points off for that?

Tina, Sorry to hear about Rons passing. Ware Mass is one town away form me. It's a small town. I know nothing about that dealership as it may have been gone for a long while (I was born in 1970). I will ask some older guys when I get to some shows to see if anybody knows anything about it.
