I understand GM closed the Janesville plant recently. I had a good friend That was in the Vintage Chevrolet Car of America ( VCCA) when I was, he was from West Allis and worked at Janesville back in the 1970s He found the 1928 Chevy car I was looking for.

Yup it closed 10 or so years ago, it's a mess i don't think anyone will ever buy it. it started as a tractor plant, then switched over to cars during the war they produced artillary. When my dad worked there I remember them building the caviler there in the 80's then suburban's and taho's and medium duty trucks. Then in the late 90's they got rid of the medium duty trucks and just built SUV's. I walked thru there with my dad one night and we watched his suburban being built it was pretty cool. 

I guess now they're trying to sell it but there's so much pollution in the ground and near by water I don't think they ever will be able too
