Here is the "General Pershing" heavy tank inside the Grand Blanc factory. These had a Ford engine but Buick still built the transmission. My uncle Lawrence Royer worked here until he retired in 1976. After tank production ended this became a Buick parts distribution warehouse (link here for 1946 story) before becoming a part of Cadillac. Further reading on warehouse. |
