    My Buick was assembled in Wilmington. Crazy to think the largest wagons ever produced rolled through that line and then a few years later it was home of the tiny Chevettes/Pontiac T1000. I've searched the internet high and low for photos of clamshells on the line, no luck.

    That's really cool! When was the last time anyone saw a pic of toy wagons under assembly?

    If those were toy wagons, I'd say never

    Alright, touring cars. But what I meant was seeing any toy cars in manufacture.

    It must have been boring for those women, most of them never having played with toy cars

    Building the Chrynderbird. Most of them were destroyed, to circumvent import taxes:
