Thank you. This was a very interesting program. I had heard of the Ionia factory and of all the products that they had made. It is sad that it is all gone. Best, Andy K.
It’s was fun until corporate bean counters figured out that it could be made cheaper elsewhere. When the owners were local and had a stake in the community things were a lot better.
Proud to say my 1964 Corvette was built in "The Factory" on July 9 1964. It was the last '64 Coupe produced in Ionia for 1964
