NORWOOD PICTURES AFTER STRIKE
 

Pictures of the Norwood plant after the strike was over

Wow, didn't know partially completed cars were crushed. I wonder how those VINs were accounted for.

Some people are fools. What a waste.

The vins were remove with a supervisor there and put in a lock box before the car was move of the line

Thanks for the pics!

:)

What book is that from?

Very interesting story/history.

Wow, Love the pictures and the history behind them is there any more?

I think the Norwood plant is gone as of now right?

Thanks, guys.

I remember that link now, don't know why I never ordered the book before.
:(

But, it's ordered now!

Interesting on the flammability of the interior as being the cause of the 'crushing'?
I had always heard it was for the 5 MPH bumper standards coming in?
(and its reinforcements to the body)

Too bad Pontiac/GM wasn't still in racing, possibly they could have 'sold' the bodies as body in white to racers, just with no VIN?

:confused:

more pictures

Really neat pictures, thank for the link. I am going to have to get one or two copies.

Kinda sickening seeing new perfect bodies being crushed. OH gives me the willies!!:gag::gag:

What a shame! Wonder how many odd ball combinations went to the crusher?

No kidding. It's like GMocide.

I just picked up this beauty too. Looking forward to reading through it.

Blame the unions.... and they helped make the legacy costs impossible for GM to bear..
( No offense union guys, but.....)

I haven't read the book, and I'm sure there is/was enough blame to go around, but after reading these limited few pages, which amazing by the way, its obvious whose side the author is on.

Not yet, but my Cousin was there at the time and in the union. Ill be reading it
