GM, which turned 100 last week has helped generations of autoworkers attain comfortable middle-class lives. Come Friday, the final vehicle will roll off the line at the last American auto assembly plant in Georgia. This marks the end of an era at GM. The plant which once boasted 3,100 workers has been rapidly dwindling down over the past few years, the future of the remaining 1,000 plant workers remain unclear. With a fragile economy and sluggish auto sales it's hard to predict where the workers can find future employment. Longtime employees have the option of moving to another GM plant, taking a buyout or waiting for a job in the company's job bank. Temporary and newer workers won't be as lucky. Here are some of the more popular Doraville-produced cars:
- 1947 Buick Super Woody
- 1951 Oldsmobile 88
- 1951 Buick Super 8 Special
- 1953 Buick Skylark
- 1955-57 Buick Century
- 1956 Olds Super 88 Convertible Coupe
- 1957 Pontiac Star Chief
- 1958 Pontiac Bonneville
- 1960 Oldsmobile Super 88
- 1965 Chevy Impala
- 1976 Chevy Monte Carlo
