Pontiac Assembly

Pontiac Assembly was a General Motors assembly plant located in Pontiac, Michigan. It served as the main facility for Pontiac Motor Division since it was built in 1927. The plant ceased production of full-size Pontiacs after the 1980 model year, and was permanently closed on August 6, 1982. Another production line was opened in 1983 to build the Fiero. The old production line was reopened January 14, 1985 to build the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and Buick Regal, as the Lansing and Flint plants which built them had been converted to new front-wheel-drive car lines. Chevrolet Monte Carlo production was added for 1987.[1] Production ended on December 11, 1987. Fiero production ended on August 16, 1988, and the plant was closed.[2]
