Tell your father that I said "Thank you" for his years of service and for all he did for Camaro and Firebird.
Actually, Oshawa has led all North American plants for many years both in terms of quality and productivity.
I will say this: The 4th gen Fcar was not an easy car to build - esp. with the various panels made out of various materials.
And -- the Men and Women of Ste. Therese were hard workers. Interestingly: once we announced that 'the end was near' - the quality actually went UP! (...you'd expect it to go down....) but the fact is: The 2002 Fcars were the best F-cars built over the 35 year model run......our warranty data and audit data showed this very clearly.
As I said -- I'm still haunted by the images of the last days......
