former Boisbriand, QC, is missing... from 1965 until 2000 - 2001 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.70.120.18 (talk) 20:42, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

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.

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.

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)

San Luis Potosi

Does anyone know about this plant that will assemble the Aveo for 2010? 842U (talk) 20:51, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Detroit Truck Assembly

I do not believe there is a truck assembly plant in Detroit, so I'm going to remove the entry unless someone can find some proof of this. --Criticalthinker (talk) 10:17, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

You are mistaken. There was a Truck and Bus Group facility across the street from the old Fisher Body Plant on Piquette St. in Hamtramck (which made bodies for Cadillac hearses until the 1980's). It may still be in use by GM from witnessing a somewhat controlled level of urban art painted on the side of it. I believe it produced chassis for either commercial vans or medium duty trucks. Whatever use it was providing was shifted to Flint Truck and Bus Group in 1996.Tresmonos (talk) 22:30, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Flint Assembly Plants

Does anyone know more about the old Chevrolet plants in Flint? Would these not be on topic since they were 'Chevrolet' and 'Buick' facilities? If so, we're missing quite a bit of otherwise available information on Chevrolet Rd. Plants 2, 2A, Motor Div. (engine assembly and engine parts plants) and the Pressed Metal Div. (parts plants).; all of these (now) vacant sites being next to Kettering University. Not to mention the Flint V8 Engine Plant on Van Slyke Rd. (closed in 1998, right next to Flint Engine South).Tresmonos (talk) 22:45, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Complete Listing of All factories of all time?

This is a great list, but I am not sure if it is supposed to be a list of current factories and recent factories, or all GM plants of all time, ever. If the latter, it would be a daunting task.

There were a large number of small plants that made parts, such as the trim plant in Syracuse, Guide Lamp in Rochester, etc.

New Departure Hyatt Bearings (NDH) had plants in Bristol, Connecticut and another nearby, making bearings, mostly non-automotive.

The NDH plants are listed under Delco NDH, but Bristol is missing.

Do we include Frigidaire and Electromotive as well?

BTW, the Bristol plant closed many years ago, and is now (ironically) a warehouse for distribution of foreign-made goods.
