No - that's Lordstown.

Most &quot;Pontiac&quot; plants assembled multiple GM Brands (the exception being the &quot;home&quot; plant in Pontiac Michigan).

It is still done that way today (that is, multiple GM brands and models going down the same line).

Correction: that's the Van Nuys plant, according to Jim Mattison.

My apologies (I was going from memory, which is a dangerous thing to do).

Thank you; I'll make a note of it (correcting my earlier correction).

FirstGen - do you have a link to the discussion?

I have a &quot;favorite&quot; saved for CRG but it takes me directly to the production process; I don't see a forum anywhere.

By the way, my career parallels JohnZ's, except I started about 10 years later and worked my way up in the Truck organization (I'm still working for Truck Engineering).

Yes, I do.

In fact, he helped me as I transitioned out of the assembly plant and into engineering.
