That would have been Pontiac West, at the corner of Woodward & South Blvd. Was only a few miles from Pontiac East Assembly. It too was demolished in the last few years. I believe in the 60-66 time frame they only made bigger trucks there such as C50 - C80, maybe C30's ??

I am on a expedite trucking board also and they have been talking about all the jobs that the auto industry has lost. And the relocttions taking place. there is several drivers that was in the auto industry that is bitter because of all the shut downs.

It isnt because people not buying new either. A lot is the upper management.
