One of our favourite pictures discussed and the process by which it was taken explained - you can nearly smell the oil and grease with these large format pics.

Here's a better angle - pity Alfred Palmer didn't take a shot of the engine:

MV collectors have a lot to thank Alfred Palmer for as he also took the 1/2-ton Dodge factory pictures while Arthur Siegal took the 3/4-ton ones.
Pity the GM factory photographs aren't freely available. See if you can find a viewable GM picture in the LOC collection.
