Not at the Assembly plant proper (which is still producing full size trucks), but at the General Motors Assembly Research Center (GMARC) which was on the north east corner of the property. That is where the above photo was taken.
Even when I worked at Flint Assembly (starting in 1979) we would have classes, special builds or events at the facility. The pre-production launch teams had offices in that building (although - they were never there, because they were out on the road launching product).
Sadly - the building was torn down within recent memory and is now part of the parking lot.
