Talk:List of GM factories

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Notes from a reader:

Southgate, CA was another assembly plant located in Los Angeles area - opened in 1927 as Buick-Oldsmobile-Pontiac assembly (BOP, for short). Closed in 1980 when H-body production ended (Buick Skyhawk, Oldsmobile Starfire and Pontiac Sunbird (75-80).

Old Oldsmobile Plants (Lansing C & M Plants) closed in 2005 when production of Pontiac Grand AM and Chevrolet Malibu Classic ended. Pontiac G6 is assembled at GM's Orion Township Assembly plant opened in 1983 (was home to Buick Park Avenue, Oldsmobile Aurora, Pontiac Bonneville (til '04). Also assembled first generation "downsized Cadillac DeVille and Coupe deVille when it first opened in 1983.

Pontiac, MI had 2 assembly plants: Pontiac Truck Plant (opened in 1971 and still is in operation) and Pontiac Car Assembly Plant (opened as Oakland and closed in 1988 when Fiero production ended along w/ rear-wheel Grand Prixes and Buick Regals. Old car plant has been converted to other use - believe it is Pontiac Techincal Center now.

[edit] St. Catharines Engine and Components

St. Catharines, Ontario has two plants, an Engine Plant (not scheduled to close as I understand it) and a Components plant which is scheduled to close. Listing shows only the engine plant and is marked as closing on this website.

[edit] Buses and trains

Any reason this list shouldn't include GM's former bus and train factories? They were as much a part of GM as the auto factories. Green451 03:19, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
