- Description:
- General Motors bought the failed Durant Motor Works plant on Verlinden Avenue in 1935 and moved the local Fisher Body operations there. It was later renamed the Buick-Oldsmobile-Cadillac plant, and the Lansing Car Assembly plant, but was known by most locally as Fisher Body. The last auto body was produced there in May 2005, and the plant was stripped and demolished over the next two and a half years. (Source: Lansing State Journal, October 23, 2011, "Other Editions" p. 5). Some of the photographs have "R. L. Spitzley Htg. Co." written on them. This was a heating company with offices in both Lansing and Detroit. Five views.
