News and Views - Fall 1982

Welcome to Magazine Monday – Florida Edition. From the Fall of 1982 its GMAC’s “News and Views” Magazine. The Cover and main article are about GM’s amazing World of Motion opening at Walt Disney World’s Epcot Center.




All of the color pages in the magazine are dedicated to Epcot and the World of Motion article. This attraction seems like it was the ultimate Audio-Animatronic – I sure wish I could have seen it. What happened to all the AA’s when it closed in 1996?
















This Magic Kingdom Club article is in between the World of Motion article so I thought I’d include it here.








The Aero2000 had some features that actually did make it into production. The “heads up” instrument panel projection system was first available on the ‘98 Corvette then a few years later on Pontiac’s and I think others GM’s as well. Video camera for 180-degree back up view – check, Radar assisted braking – what the heck is that?, full electronic diagnostics – OBD-II check, Satellite assisted navigation – like that will ever happen, what's next, flying cars???
