Re: GM coffee cup from Willow Run Assm plant
Those cups were not specific to Willow Run or a particular Model Year.
They used them from as early as 1973 to 1977 as far as I can tell. I've had some of those cups & printed bound material advertising them reflecting those dates for B-O-P-C.

Re: GM coffee cup from Willow Run Assm plant
I'm glad the auction at least provided some amusement for folks. It sure did for me. I also got an email from a former Willow Run employee that even verified that style cup being used at the plant. Pretty cool to get a response.... here is a copy of it.
=================== Dear 396cardo396, Hello, Very interesting! I worked at the plant from 1968 to 1975. All the vending machines had those cups - yes I drank plenty of coffee! One job I had was inspecting brake pedal's, clips, & speedo cables and I do remember seeing cups left inside. George D. =========================

Re: GM coffee cup from Willow Run Assm plant
What else did George D remember Allen? Anything about building the big blocks cars or the 4cyl cars?
