Incidentally, those first 300 cars, built in Flint, were not built at the assembly plant proper.
There was a small brick building located on the northeast corner of the property, GM Assembly Research Center (GMARC), that was used to further experimental assembly and manufacturing techniques and allowed the installation of pre-production assembly lines.
Those cars were built in that facility. Sadly - it is no longer there, having been torn down a few years ago.
