Assembly plant historical overview

Featured Replies

Not sure which is the best forum to stick this- would be nice to be seen publicly- move thread at will.

Nice overview of many of the GM plants, esp with the names from the heights of GM's success.

'NUMMI' may have significance to those into Vibes & matrixes, but 'Fremont' built the cars people treasure & collect.

This info (and more) will eventually get into the upcoming C&G Wiki, but this is especially nice because there are numerous pics.

Even driving by these sites seldom gives any indication of the size of these complexes.

Very cool and very sad at the same time...

So much of our history as a nation and as a society resides in manufacturing and 'creating'. Yet we continue to demolish these structures daily.

I lived in a historic textile mill for 3 years. Loved every minute of it.

Yep. Very sad. They call it "progress", but sometimes I wonder.

Same thing happens to various Route 66 and Lincoln Highway and other "old road" haunts.....

Nice find, balthazar.
