The North Tarrytown Assembly was an automobile factory in North Tarrytown, New York now known as Sleepy Hollow. Originally opened by the Stanley Steam Car Company in 1896, the plant was acquired by Maxwell-Briscoe in 1903 from the Ingersoll-Rand Drill Company. In 1913 Maxwell-Briscoe became just Maxwell. Separate portions of the complex were acquired by Chevrolet in 1914 and 1915. At this time Chevrolet was an independent company and not yet part of General Motors. In 1918 Chevrolet was integrated into General Motors. A range of General Motors products were assembled in Tarrytown over the years. Its last vehicles produced were GM's second generation minivans. These were the Chevrolet Lumina APV, Pontiac TranSport, and Oldsmobile Silhouette, but sluggish sales spelled the end for GM's Tarrytown operations with its 2100 employees. It was closed at the end of June 1996 when production of minivans was moved to Doraville Assembly in Georgia.〔(Lueck ), p. B6〕 Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line runs through the property, and some of the siding tracks that used to serve the factory have been taken over by Metro-North as overflow storage tracks for Maintenance of Way equipment. == Chevrolet Assembly (pre-General Motors Assembly Division circa 1965) == Plants operated under Chevrolet Assembly management prior to General Motors Assembly Division management (most established pre-1945). Additional Chevrolet Assembly plants were located at Buffalo, New York and Oakland, California. Framingham, Massachusetts is unusual in that it changed from Buick-Oldsmobile-Pontiac Assembly management to Chevy management prior to becoming GMAD. The terminology is confusing because most plants assembled more than just Chevrolet or B-O-P and refers to the management structure only. In addition, Buick assembled cars at their "home" plant in Flint, Michigan; Oldsmobile at Lansing, Michigan; Pontiac at Pontiac, Michigan; and Cadillac at Detroit, Michigan.〔http://vcca.org/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/99892/Re_Fisher_Body_Company〕 *St. Louis Truck Assembly, St. Louis, Missouri *Janesville Assembly, Janesville, Wisconsin *Norwood Assembly, Norwood, Ohio *Flint Truck Assembly, Flint, Michigan *North Tarrytown Assembly, Tarrytown, New York *Lakewood Assembly, Atlanta, Georgia *Leeds Assembly, Kansas City, Missouri *Baltimore Assembly, Baltimore, Maryland *Van Nuys Assembly, Los Angeles, California *Willow Run Assembly, Ypsilanti, Michigan *Framingham Assembly, Framingham, Massachusetts *Lordstown Assembly, Lordstown, Ohio 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「North Tarrytown Assembly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
