General Motors opened car production on this 2.3 million square foot floor in 1959 with the Chevrolet Corvair, the rear engined compact that Ralph Nader would later build a career on. The plant went on to build the rear wheel drive Chevrolet Nova from 1962 to 1979. It sat immediately south of the old bomber plant, so the same patch of Ypsilanti Township was making aircraft, then cars, then transmissions, without a decade off.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
