Historical Assembly Plant Photo

Hemmings Classic Car magazine has a monthly column called "I Was There" with stories of folks who used to work in plants. None of the stories that I've read were told through rose-colored glasses. I enjoyed reading them, though.
 
My favorite story is my friend's dad was a lifelong retired GM Assembly Plant worker bee. Over the course of years, the models that chugged off the end off the line changed many times.
I asked him what what model were they producing when he retired.
He said he didnt know....

He was well glazed over by then!
 
I gave 87 dayz to FOMOCO in the Pico Rivera, Ca. plant in '59 and the best thing they could have done for me they did by laying me off before I got the last 3 dayz in so I wasn't unionized. They wanted me back ah month later for what I guessed would be another 87 dayz and I told 'um to stuff it in their shortz!
