Van Nuys Assembly was a General Motors automobile factory in Van Nuys, California. The plant opened in 1947 producing Chevrolet Advance Design trucks. Later it would produce several different models including Chevrolet full-size (Caprice, Impala, etc.), Chevrolet Corvair, Chevrolet Greenbrier, Chevrolet Chevelle, Chevrolet Nova/Buick Apollo/Oldsmobile Omega/Pontiac Ventura, and Chevrolet Camaro/Pontiac Firebird. It also produced the Chevrolet Monte Carlo and the Chevrolet Chevelle. The plant was closed in 1992 when Camaro/Firebird production moved to Sainte-Thérèse Assembly in Quebec due to air quality remediation efforts. The site was razed in 1998. A retail and industrial complex, known as The Plant, resulted on the site, as well as Station 81 of the Los Angeles Fire Department. The retail portion totals and is home to 35 retail stores and restaurants. A 16-screen movie theater honors the site history with an automotive theme décor. GM continues to operate a car-testing facility on next to The Plant. == 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「Van Nuys Assembly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
