Slow sales of American auto's?
It's not just slow sales of American automobiles in today's economy. This video was taken at Ford's former Lorain Assembly plant in Lorain, OH. The property is currently owned by a large real estate company. The THOUSANDS of Honda's have occupied the property for months. To Honda's credit-they claim these were 'over-produced', probably their spin on slow sales. The video was shot driving at 50mph. I've been told they are slowly trucking these out to dealers. Kind of ironic-an American manufacturing icon shudders it's operations in this location to be later occupied as a 'storage facility' for another manufacturer...Although, to be fair, I understand that most of these were manufactured in Ohio-
What do you think of this story?
