Lordstown Assembly was never "torn down", and it would certainly take longer than a holiday weekend to do so. From the wiki:
"Conversion van production at Lordstown ended when production of the Chevrolet van's successor, the Chevrolet Express, moved to the Wentzville Assembly in 1994, leaving Lordstown to focus exclusively on compact cars."
The assembly plant is still there, although GM shut down all production as of March 6, 2019. The plant was sold to Lordstown Motors on November 7, 2019. Still intact, definitely not torn down.
- rpaddock 3y agoI was specific, the Van Plant was razed. In the 1970s. My uncles lost their job because of it. I was present during some rather heated discussions when they came home. The Van Plant was a sperate building. Clearly the rest of the Lordstown Assembly building is there for everyone to see driving on Interstate 80/Ohio Turnpike, which I do frequently. I don't know what Wiki you are quoting but it is out of date. The plant structure was most recently part of Foxcon, clearly seen on the sign when driving by the building. The recent bankruptcy of Loardtowwn Motors and them suing Foxcon will lead to a sign change once again. Loardstown Motors was frequently in the local news here mostly for not getting things done (to be polite).
