    Funny that plant shifted to Firebirds and Camaros the Fremont plant that made midsize GMs is now the Tesla factory. I remember as a kid touring the big Chevy, Corvette plant in St. Louis in 1966. We followed a light blue 2 door Biscayne down the line. I was lucky that I went with my brothers Boy Scout troop. My dad took us all down in his ‘66 Impala wagon. Also built in St. Louis. Lol

    They had a huge plant in Willow Run. That would be my guess.

    Yes that is part of the old Willow Run plant, about 5 miles from where I live.

    I'm amazed they didn't enclose those frameworks with plywood sheeting. Maybe they didn't have a license to produce plywood?
