While none remain today, for years New Jersey turned out thousands upon thousands of classic American cars at assembly plants in Bergen, Middlesex and Union counties.
The oldest plant was the General Motors assembly facility in Linden. Opening in 1935 and remaining in operation through 2005, GM’s website notes the plant turned out Oldsmobiles, Pontiacs, Buicks Chevrolet’s S-10 Blazer and the GMC Jimmy as well as a variety of commercial vehicles for GMC’s Truck and Bus division.
The Ford Motor Company’s Edison Assembly Plant opened in 1948. A memorable sight through generations was the rows and rows of Fords visible from Routes 27 and 1 awaiting delivery to dealerships across the country. The facility produced both the Ford Mustang and the Ford Pinto as well as the Falcon, Escort, Ranger pickup and, later, the Mazda B-series. The plant closed for good in 2004.
