Smoke Signals readers can look forward to the complete story of the Parisienne and how its newly-resurrected roof was meticulously designed and built during an upcoming installment of our ongoing Road to MOTORAMA series.

  • General Motors Doraville Plant Collection
    General Motors Collection Page 1 DeKalb History Center General Motors Collection Scope and content: The General Motors Collection contains materials from the Doraville plant. Collection includes but is not exclusive to signs, printed advertisements, hard hats, souvenirs, records and miscellaneous items related to the seventy-five year history of the facility. The collection spans the 1940s, when the plant was opened, until 2005. Provenance: Donated by Scott Mullennix, Accession # 2008.53. Access: Single photocopies may be made for research purposes. Reproductions of photographs and permission to publish materials from this collection must be requested from the Archivist, DeKalb History Center. Citations should be made as follows: Description of specific item; the General Motors Collection, DeKalb History Center Archives. Processed by Jill Sweetapple, Archivist, 2011. Size: One document box, plus various ephemera in museum storage. Organizational History of the General Motors Doraville Assembly Plant: The Doraville plant was originally built as part of the Buick-Oldsmobile-Pontiac Assembly Division. Ground was broken for the plant on November 21, 1945 on the over 980 thousand square foot building, and by the 1947 completion, its cost including the land, was over 9 million dollars. In 1950, 66,000 square feet of floor space was added , and expansions continued every decade. The Doraville plant is touted as perfecting the “bake- sand-bake” paint process, which produced a more durable finish. In 1976, 275,000 cars were produced and the plant had a payroll of 87 million dollars for 4700 employees. The plant was closed in September 2008 as part of a massive corporate downsizing plan and proposed redevelopment of the site continues into 2011.
