Historic Saturn, GM Vehicles Sold at Barrett-Jackson Auction Earlier this Month
Mark Vaughn from AutoWeek: More than 200 cars from GM's Heritage Fleet went on the block in what GM called normal housekeeping. Note that's the Heritage Fleet, which is different from the Heritage Collection. The latter has about 350 cars. "The Heritage Collection is sacred, a critical part of the history of GM," said Brian Baker, collection manager and design historian. The fleet, on the other hand, is made up of about 1,000 cars and trucks from throughout GM's history that the company has on hand for one reason or another at any given time. And every now and then, they have to clean out a few cars. Since 2004, the Fleet has been cleaned out at Barrett-Jackson. A committee representing every GM department from design and marketing to powertrain and engineering has a say in what gets sold. If anyone objects to a sale, it is not hauled out to Scottsdale. "This has been a natural part of our process since 2004," Baker said.

Flashback Friday: 2000 Saturn CV1 Concept![]() The CV1 - so named because it was Saturn's first real concept vehicle - explored new vehicle packaging and design features, many of which would end up playing an important role as Saturn grew its product lineup. Notable features found on the CV1 that eventually made it into production on other Saturn vehicles were the center-mounted instrument cluster (Ion), continuously variable transmission (Ion and Vue), flat-folding passenger seat (Vue), all-wheel-drive (Vue and Outlook), and LED tail-lights (Aura). |
