This
package contained information and a short video that was used to train the dealer
salesmen about the finer points of the VR. They were supposed to review the
information and munch the popcorn while viewing the video. You must remember,
if you can, that microwave popcorn was a new thing in 1988! They could then
give "tickets" away to customers who were interested in purchasing
a VR to see the same video. After getting approved for the loan and viewing
the video, the customer and the salesman could then pick out a $25 dollar item
from the VR apparel catalog. One for the customer, and one for the salesman,
if he completed the deal for the car. The video, popcorn, apparel catalog
and ordering info for the car was sent as a package to Chevrolet dealerships
for the 1988 model year only. Below are scans and photos of the only known surviving
package and its contents, along with the links to the video. These items may
have never been seen before by the general public... unless you were buying
a new VR.
