There's a guy in Detroit that I talked to that claimed otherwise. Said that he got the equvalent of 2 tractor trailers of literature and archives. His story was that they really did fear going out of business and that they were even looking for a place to deposit Walter P's original tool box, which shows up in one of the 1950's advertisements. People say all kinds of things, though. I told a gal online that I was rich, smart, and handsome, so you can't beleive everything that you hear.
Whether related to that or not, I've repeatedly bumped into a fellow on ebay that works for DC. He is buying MTSC manuals, and I asked him why. He said that they had gotten rid of them some time back and that he had been tasked to rebuild the library.
I wasn't there and so can't comment further, but those are the two corroborating stories that prompted my statement.
Do you have any thoughts on why they'd reverse the eagle? I don't think that it was because we were at war.

I am not aware of any of Chrysler's archives being flushed during the hard times in the early 80s. I have intimate knowledge of those times and most importantly, Chrysler's Archives. Those in charge of the archives at that time were well aware of their importance.
