1,100 new 1972 Camaros Firebirds Novas crushed video
Did anyone else catch the short video play of the white or pale yellow color 1972 Firebird in the crusher?
It was said to be amongst the other 1,100 Camaro, Firebird & Nova's to be scrapped due to end of the strike and new 1973 bumper regs. Video began with several stacks of already flatten new shells in various colors...including vinyl tops and trim can be seen.
I've no practical way to copy and paste it here from DVR.
For those who'd like to look again for it - the video was shown during the 1/18/2018 Thursday 7pm CST broadcast, when the 1972 Camaro Z/28 Lot #832 was shown and said by Steve Magnate:
Most all here have no doubt heard and or read the Norwood book. There have been several black and white photos of the 1972 shells scrapped as published in the past...
This is the first time I've ever seen any videos (although brief and in color) of the actual destruction process.

"this Camaro was built at the Norwood Ohio plant, before a 170 day strike shut it down."
"Well, when that happened 1,100 Camaros, Firebirds and Nova's had to be crushed"
"And this is some very rare video of the crushing in action as General Motors destroyed 1,100 brand new semi-built shells. This has never been seen before, and this is courtesy of a fellow named Phillip Morris who wrote a book called 'Echoes of Norwood' and it tells the whole story of the plant including the notorious crushing."
