The site, a six-building complex, will run three shifts and aim for 80 cars daily by year end, expanding to 280 daily later.

First Olds and Pontiac Cars Shipped to New England Dealers
The first Oldsmobile off the line was shipped to Gardner dealer Stanley Bijnicki while the first Pontiac goes to the Motor Car Company of New England in Boston. The two longtime New England dealers receive preference as production expands. By fall all requests are expected to be met and a 1949 Buick will join the line, possibly adding 2000 jobs.
