Buick City

Buick City was a name applied to the former Buick home plant following major renovations completed during the early 1980's to better compete with Japanese producers. The plant was a massive automobile manufacturing complex in the northeast of Flint, Michigan. Elements of the 235-acre complex dated from before 1904, when it was known as Flint Wagon Works. Once GM assumed operations all aspects of Buick vehicles were constructed, and it became known as Buick City in 1985.

The original factory at one time was the largest in the world, consisting of 24 separate buildings contributing to the manufacturing process, until 1928 when the Ford River Rouge Complex was completed and began operations. In the beginning, all components were manufactured in one location, to include wheel bearings, nuts, bolts, and screws, to transmissions, suspension components, wheels and interior components. Operations were carried out in this fashion well into the 1940s and beyond.
