We actually have a couple of guys in our club that worked at the STL plant in the C2 and C-3 era. Although the plant was old and much less automated, they built some incredible cars with a great deal of pride.

There is a series of pictures of the 1981 assembly line (about two dozen or so pics). Keep Googling until you find them.











A few teasers.
