No - that's Lordstown. Most "Pontiac" plants assembled multiple GM Brands (the exception being the "home" plant in Pontiac Michigan). It is still done that way today (that is, multiple GM brands and models going down the same line). K

</div></div> FirstGen - do you have a link to the discussion? I have a "favorite" 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). K
