Also if you didn't know, at least at the Norwood F-body plant, they operated as two seperate entities with their own break and lunch room facilities. The Fisher Body side and GM side were seperated by a wall with a passage in it to shove the cars through. They were very much in competition with each other. As the Fisher body portion was completed the car was shoved through the "hole" to be staged on the GM side to go down the line and complete the build. I assume this changed when they merged in '84. The Norwood plant closed on Aug. 26th 1988 a.k.a. "Black Wednesday" as the last car, a Camaro of course, rolled off the line.

EDIT: I just saw the Fbodfather had posted some of this in that thread. I guess I didn't need to do the spin-off.
