Default 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.

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.

=========================

What else did George D remember Allen? Anything about building the big blocks cars or the 4cyl cars?

Marlin,
Those questions immediately came to mind. I'm striking up a correspondance and will see about getting a phone number to see what I can learn.
