The original Camaro plant
As we say goodbye to the Camaro here’s a great memory from one of the two original Camaro assembly plants. 1st -mid-year 3rd Gen F-bodies were produced in Norwood, Ohio along with the Van Nuys, California plant from 1967-87 (1988-92 F-bodies continued at Van Nuys). Of course 4th Gen production was moved to St. Therese Quebec.

Stuff like this is always very cool. I am reminded of this one...with nothing coming behind it, for the first time in twenty nine years:

A shopping mall now. Or it was as shopping malls are going the way of sporty coupes.

LeonardS with a real trick up his sleeve there!
Awesome. IMPORTANT: who keeps piling up the mileage on that thing? ;-)

That is awesome! Fully loaded too….. 3rd gens with leather and power seat are kinda rare to begin with, they really didn’t start expanding leather seat production until the 4th gens.
Fun fact most people aren’t aware of on those 3rd gens - they have a power hatch lid pull down like the trunk pull down on Cadillacs!
