janesville assembly plant
in the 1980s general motors moved large car production from janesville and started making subcompact j-cars, such as the chevrolet cavalier. in 1987 the company moved janesville's pickup line to the fort wayne, indiana assembly plant. local efforts resulted in gm moving medium-duty truck and full-size sport-utility production from plants in michigan to janesville. by 1992 it was the only gm plant manufacturing large suvs. in 2002 gm returned janesville's medium-duty truck production to flint, michigan.
