5th Gen. in good hands - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I saw this elsewhere and had to share.

Quote from an article in "World of Wheels" November 2007 issue regarding the
plant building the 5th Gen.

"Here's the part that gets us all weepy: Apparently, there are a number of
plant employees eligible for retirement today, but who are actually holding
out until they can bolt together a few new Camaros before hanging up their
tool belts. In fact, there are even a few guys who reportedly plan to buy
one of Chevy's new muscle cars and file their retirement papers the
same day they help build their new ride. You can't buy passion like that"

Here's to the fellow loyal enthusiasts who are building our favorite car.

^That is awesome. Really. GM needs to make some more news out of that! That is a passion.

Cool Stuff!!

<= happy tears

It wonderful to know that the folks who build our cars, actually CARE about building them...Camaro has a heritage, that I don't think any car wil ever be able to top....EVER...

That's totally awesome! Loyalty is what most would call it.

That is just an amazing story. And YES, GM should make news out of it.

Thanks for the post.

JeepinMatt · 11-04-2007, 03:30 AM

Very awesome.

Imagine building your own personal car and then picking it out on the line. I don't really know if you could purchase it straight from the factory without going through a dealer.

Wow, and this is from the one of GM's highest quality and most productive plants already. And that was for cars the workers didn't really care about. Good to hear
