That would be an early Beretta dash........

I remember picking up a new Beretta (long before they were available to the public) -- I was living in West Warwick, Rhode Island at the time -- as a District Manager -- and I was putting gas in it when someone came up to me and said "Is that the new Camaro?" -- I nearly punched the guy!

Um, that there shifter was used in later Third Gen RS's lol.

Now, THAT is a retro interior!!

haha -- thanks for breaking the tension.

Ah, Yes, my first car - a 1990 Chevy Beretta GT. Midnight blue with light blue interior. Fully loaded - from cruise to PWs and a power trunk release. Even had split folding rear seatbacks!

I bought it in 1997, and it had only 54,000 miles on it. It was MINT!

Sold it in 1999 with 97,000 miles and it was not so mint.

No offense Scott, but that was the car that made me hate GM for a while.

What the hell did you guys use for paint back then?

Pretty much every 90's GM car makes me scratch my head. I remember getting into a 1996 Buick whatever, and thinking back to my 1995 Ford taurus andhow much better that car was over this. From design, quality, interior lay out...I was shocked for a moment. Not to mention the Buick still had that ugly boxy design from years ago.

What the hell did you guys use for paint back then?

ah yes -- that particular paint process --

As we worked to lower the emissions when we BUILD cars and trucks -- we went to various new paint processes -- while Arcylic Laquer gave us great paint shades in the 60s -- that process put tons of hydrocarbons and other bad things into the air --

The problem with the paint on the Beretta/Corsica and some of our other vehicles was the primer -- left to exposed sunlight for long periods (which most cars and trucks are) -- would allow the rays to penetrate the colorcoat - and 'etch thru' the primer -- causing the color coat to peel off. (I'm sure bodyshop guys can give a better explanation...)

it cost us horribly not only in product opinion and satisfaction -- but in huge amounts of money to repaint hundreds of thousands of cars and trucks...........

looks cool to me

He he, I'll never forget the day I bought the car I went to CAREFULLY pull the dealer sticker off the deck lid and could not avoid pulling the paint with it. I was like "WTF????" Of course I was only 20 so I just went up to Auto Zone and got a 5.00 bottle of touch up paint for the spot. Little did I realize when I would sell the car 2 years later the roof and trunk lid went from that cool midnight blue to a nice milky gray that dribbled all over my back window when it rained :D

When it was in good shape, it was one sweet car though. Those rims took me 20 minutes to clean (I think you know which ones I'm talking about that were on the GT).

Are you kidding? This is the new leaked interior shot! ;)

Uh oh. If that's the new Camaro interior... I'm alREADY having issues with it. Too much like my Formula's. That makes it RETRO :o ;)

Is it wrong to say the Beretta dash is an improvement?

(I'm sure bodyshop guys can give a better explanation...)I've been lucky enough to own 3 of those peeling cars, each one peeled after the warantees expired...one is my '90 IROC...:(
I'm glad they got that fixed.;)

Sorry to hear that. My wife however, bought a 1991 Corsica new and we had a nearly perfect ownership experience with it for 7 years :shrug:

would love it

My '87 IROC had the peeling paint problem. GM agreed to paint the car when it had 76,000 miles in March 1993. They did a bare metal paint job with polyurethane clearcoat and it held up to the sun better than the original water based paint w/ clearcoat.

The Berettas were a disaster. I think GM officially jumped the shark with those things. Then they came out with the second gen Luminas and copied the Beretta/Corisca styling!!!

Sometime between '82 when the third gens came out and '88 when the Berettas came out bad decisions were made at GM
I blame Roger Smith, and I don't even know if he was there at the time. I just like to blame him anyway.
