<VV> Willow Run--> 1969 performance issues

[BBRT]

Production of automobiles began at Willow Run in 1959 with the Chevrolet 
Corvair; Willow Run also built the Chevrolet Nova (1962-1979) and X-bodies 
(1980-1985). Corvairs were assembled at Willow Run during the car's entire 
10-year production run. On May 14, 1969, the media was invited to Willow Run 
as the last Corvair came down the line; a departure from GM's policy of not 
permitting reporters to visit their manufacturing facilities.

In 1968, General Motors began reorganizing its body and assembly operations 
into the GM Assembly Division (GMAD). GMAD required 16 years to completely 
absorb Fisher Body's operations, and Fisher would manufacture bodies at 
Willow Run until the 1970s. Assembly operations at Willow Run ended in 1992 
after a reduction in demand for the full-size B-bodies of the time.
