C3 plant in st. Louis

I went over to the old corvette assembly plant in St. Louis MO, this morning on the bike. Its completely gone, the old plant was demolished in 2002 and the the rest was leveled a few years ago to make a giant warehouse. I did take a couple of pictures of it though, but first let me say no one should attempt to take any pitures of large warehouse in st. louis with full riding gear on and a full face helmet or security will think you are a terrorist so after that slight misunderstanding they asked "ME" not to come back! Well here is the best pic I got.  Norsky2007-07-23 09:57:53

THANKS KELLY FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LET THE REST OF US KNOW WHAT UP.   I GOT TO SEE THE PICS THAT WERE POSTED FROM 1981 OF THE PLANT, AND THAT WAS A REAL TREAT.  IT'S SOMEWHAT SAD IN A WAY KNOWING THAT A PART OF OUR CARS HISTORY HAS BEEN WIPED OFF THE MAP AND REPLACED WITH A WAREHOUSE

Thanks for the update. It is a shame that a part of the Corvette heritage is gone.

Yes its a shame GM couldn't think ahead and save the old plant but judging from the pictures I found from 1981 the place looked like it was ready to fall in now I know why my factory paint needs to be stripped off and the body  redone as for as the story I gave I told them I come from northern Il. and was doing a freelance story on the corvette I don't think they bought it but when I asked them when was the last time you saw a redheaded terrorist? fron IL. , they let me go. Here is another pic - I only got 3 of them. Norsky2007-07-23 09:59:31

Guess they won't be very happy when 30 or so of your best C3VR terrorist vigilanty visionaries show up to take pics of our plastic armoured vehicles in front of there stinkin warehouse then huh?

Thanks for the attempt to bring back gala memories my friend. I guess for ol Tux the story is now compelete .... he truly can't go home.... Hope Bowling Green doesn't throw any of his adoption papers. Tuxblacray2007-07-21 13:55:32

What a shame.  I am trying to put together a trip to the St Louis area in a few weeks.  Given what you've got there, I may not make the effort to find the site.

No it isn't worth the drive.  Here is the 3rd and final pic I got.
