What's interesting to me here is the cars appear to be near the end of a assembly line and they have "Bumperettes" on them. I always though they (Bumperettes) were a option and were Dealer Installed????...ED I was only wrong one time in my life so far. But that time I was right, and only thought I was wrong....ED

I took the tour and was impressed. The plant is really old but the modernization that was done was impressive. Hot Glue Robots and Assembly robots were nice to watch. The photo above is not that plant.
