August 26, 1987 Fourteen years ago today the CPC Norwood Plant closed it's doors forever. Let's all take a moment to remember the men and women of UAW local 674 who helped build our beloved third-gens.

88 miles an hour? But Doc, the speedometer stops at 85!!!
Everyone come to the Vicksburg Old Car Show (in Michigan) next year, and hold it up for all the Thirdgen owners out there.
e-mail me for directions, dates, etc.

The orginal Camaro plant was norwood. Van Nays was brought on line during the 1967 model year to make the f-bodys for the west coast states and keep up with demand. Also just a note, all of COPO cars made in the First generation were only built at the norwood plant. Both of my Camaros were made at the norwood plant.
