Does anyone know where the trunk release button is on a 1992 RS? I cant remember, but I thought that in my 91 it was in the glove box, which this 92 does not have. Thanks for any help.

The hatch release button on the third gen cars was on the console, between the two power window buttons. None of the third gens, BTW, had "glove boxes" per se, just a bin in the center console. If you car is missing the button on the center console to release the rear hatch, then it doesnt have that option.

 

Thanks Patrick! Now that you mention it I do remember that. Thanks for the in put. I guess it didnt come with that option. I think the only option it did come with is the Herritage Edition package. Other then that it has not apparent options.

Thanks again!

No problem. Nice to hear about a Camaro overseas, they are pretty rare outside North America. You must attract a lot of attention when you drive it! A friend of mine, who was in the Canadian military, lived in West Germany for a few years, and bought a new 1979 Trans Am when he was there. It was definitely a car that stood out in a crowd of Audis, VWs, BMWs and Mercedes.

 

Yeah, Im just driving it because Im leaving in a few months so a friend let me use it. I have a 93Z back in th estates. It is quite an eye catcher over here. Most of teh one I see around here are all Air Force guys but every now and then you will see one thats owned by one of the locals. All those other cars you mentioned are so common over here that they loose their appeal after a while.

 

They are definitely eye-catchers, when parked next to European cars, which are mostly vanilla-flavored. I remember reading an article in Car&Driver, years ago, when they drove a 1979 Trans Am across Europe, and documented the public reaction to the car. One person reportedly ran up to the window, and shouted "That car is obscene!" Pretty funny.

Several other military families brought their American-made vehicles with them when they were posted to Europe. One brought a Chrysler LeBaron Town&Country wagon (remember the fake wood?). The Europeans didn't know what to make of that one!!! Every time they parked, a crowd would gather.

We owned a camperized full size Chevy van, and drove it all over the continent. Very comfortable and reliable vehicle to travel in, but it was tough to drive on the narrow streets, particularly in the cities. When we left, we sold to another military family, for about what we paid for it.
