Closed by GM in 1982.

Reopened in 1984 as (New United Motor Manufacturing) NUMMI.

Now operated by TESLA.

Preparing the site.

Construction of the plant and the water tank.

Vintage cars in the employee parking lot.

Sad, the demolition of the water tank in 1983.

The Fremont drag strip was nearby and in many photos of races you can see the old GM plant in the background.
