<< Previous Article | Generations of GM Wiki Timeline | Next Article >>
The first Saturn rolled off the line at the new Spring Hill, Tennessee, plant on July 30, to compete head-on against imports in the U.S. and Canadian small car markets. Shown at the ceremony are (left to right) GM President Bob Stempel, UAW President Owen Bieber, GM Chairman Roger Smith, and Saturn President Skip LeFauve.
Tell us more. The Generations of GM Wiki is about expanding the story of General Motors to include as many relevant voices and perspectives as possible. If you have information that is pertinent to the narrative of GM, please add to the history.
The UAW President is misidentified. It is not Don Ephlin. It is Owen Bieber.
The car in this picture was later displayed at the visitors' center for the Spring Hill factory and was still kept there even after Saturns ceased to be built there in 2007.
