The plant where millions of Chevrolet V-8, 6 and 4 cylinder engines (including the Chevette OHC) were built, beginning in 1954 for the '55 model, was closed in 1999 and torn down a few years later. All that remains of this facility is a huge vacant lot. The main Chevrolet Manufacturing complex also was totally razed and is now a 40 acre brownfield. So,too, for the BUICK CITY complex. It's all gone. Fisher Body? Gone. Flint is the birthplace of GM who, has for the most part, abandoned this city and left it a sad and depressed place.

i did a walk thru flint engine some years ago when my step dad work there on the ring gear line .that place was a trip for sure it was somewhat like a zoo with all walks of life . lots of sbc chevys bay city chevy is a far cry from what it was
