I bet this would be a hard sell these days. I sure don’t recall seeing one or hearing about it. Anyone?

Even in ’85, it’s a strange marketing concept–the assumption that even a hunter would have any special interest in a ’94. What might have attracted a shooter was some kind of built-in compartment for concealing a gun, as opposed to that cheap rear-window rack. For ex., about this time I bought a steel shelf, 6-7″ wide, that installed just below the roof, up against the windshield, giving about a 4″ deep storage space, side to side; hard to spot, just looking through side windows.
Reminds me of this gadget I saw recently.
I just not sure how well this would work where I live. With Louisiana humidity, my rifle would probably have a nice coat of rust on it before to long.
Sincerely,
Maverick

GM was trying to copy what Dodge had done the year before with the 1984 Dodge Marksman pick-up and Winchester Model 94.
