Lordstown Assembly Plant CarShow!

Damn I wish i would have know about this Carshow......Oh maybe not...thats the same day i picked up my SS/SC...........Maybe next year if they have it again????

LORDSTOWN, Ohio -- A General Motors plant in northeast Ohio marked its 40th anniversary this weekend with a car show of more than 600 vehicles, including many that were built at the factory.

Cars from across the country converged on the site, including the first Chevrolet Vega -- in baby blue -- produced at the plant in 1970, on loan from a museum in Detroit.

James Hallamek of Minnesota joined in the celebration Saturday by towing his 1973 Vega more than 800 miles to the factory where it was born.

"She loves it," Hallamek said, referring to the car. "She likes being around her brothers and sisters."

Tim and Sandy Wagner of Brook Park took their yellow, Lordstown-built 1971 Vega to the event. Tim Wagner said he wanted to show that the plant did a good job building the car.

"It's still running," he said.
