PIG loose in the CAR FACTORY! Pranks from the assembly line.

Harold and Buford Noland are brothers, both by blood and by membership in the UAW. They each worked for General Motors for 30 years, beginning in the mid 1950s, up until the late 1980s when their plant was closed in a sweeping effort to cut costs by the corporation.
Settle in and listen to the Noland brothers relay some tall tales of light hearted pranks and perseverance. Make sure to hang around and hear how Buford caught an escaped pig in one of the most historically significant plants to ever exist, Norwood Assembly.
This interview was recorded in 2013 in the very first round of interviews we conducted with former Norwood workers.

Glad I found this. I live about 1 mile from where the plant was. So sad it was closed.

Good story, be nice to have been able to interview people that worked in the plants over the years

[@OriginalMotorCar]

They didn't look as old as they are

[@OriginalMotorCar]

Yeah, Harold and Buford were late 80s and early 90s when we filmed this. Great shape for their age!

I wonder what year this interview was done. This is pretty cool, my dad worked for a chevy dealer from 46-69.

[@OriginalMotorCar]

Hey there! Thanks for checking out the interview. This was actually one of the very first interviews we ever shot on the Norwood plant. We shot it back in 2013. Hard to believe it’s been 10+ years since we first started researching on the factory.

[@OriginalMotorCar]

What dealer did your dad work for back in the 40s-60s?

[@charleshaggard4341]

@@OriginalMotorCar Small dealer in Northeast Texas. The dealer passed in 69 in his office and they closed it. I worked there after school and Saturday from 67-69 when I graduated. Chevy was wanting a new building out on the highway before they would allow the sale so it was closed and liquidated by year end 69. There are few small town dealers anymore and the rest are being sold to big corporations. Sad.

@@OriginalMotorCarwhat about an interview with this man? See how things were on the other side of the assembly line.
