According to ...Thanks for posting the great video! According to the video, the manufacturing plant on Kenmore Avenue in Tonawanda is now an American Axle plant, which supplies axles to GM cars. This would make sense, as it was originally a Chevy plant. At least its still manufacturing parts for cars here in NYS, and hasn't been outsourced to Mexico or China! Thanks for the great video! For me, this story is just beginning!

I have been obsessed with cars since I was 11 years old (I am now 48), and had never heard of the Playboy until I received yesterday's Hemmings Auto News email blast, concerning the former Massacheusetts dealer selling off some of his collection. Since that time, just yesterday, I've been consumed with knowing more about this wonderful car. As an amateur industrial historian (and being trained as a mechanical engineer), I enjoy studying America's manufacturing history through its factory plants, and now I NEED TO KNOW what became of that former Chevrolet Plant #1, where the Playboy was made. Is it still standing? Is manufacturing still going on in the plant? Or has it been converted to luxury living lofts like all the great plants in Manhattan, Jersey Ctiy, and Hoboken? I would be forever grateful if you could tell me what happened to the plant, as it looks like a great piece of America's manufacturing heritage. Thank you and God Bless You for helping to preserve America's manufacturing history!
