Question about Fisher Body Plant 21 in New Center

[bust]

The building is pretty much a tourist trap. There’s constantly people coming and going and there’s usually more than one group inside at once.

Your experience is completely different from mine. I've never seen a tourist there, nor even any number of parked cars.

I'll grant you've almost certainly been there many more times than I have, and I've never gone inside.

Fisher Body Plant 23 is over the road from FB21, at Picquette and Beaubien opposite the Ford 'Model T' museum.

It looks empty and boarded up, as well. Has anyone seen inside it? It looks impenetrable. No windows or access points

With any luck it will stay impenetrable. Hopefully spare one building from the urban explorers and scrappers.

Fisher 23, a die construction facility, closed in spring 1972. GM spent $10 million to remodel it as an assembly plant, reopening in summer 1973, initially to build small vans. GMAD, Chevrolet, then Truck & Bus Group operated it. It last built chassis for commercial vans, motor homes and school buses, closing for good in fall 1998.

Who owns it now?

It was for sale a few years ago for like $5 million, but not sure if it sold. There were pictures of the inside and it looked fine.

Never been to Plant 21 or 23 but I have been across the street at Plant 37 on Milwaukee when I was an engineer for GM. Spent time at the Bristol Road die shop in Flint [[Buick city). They all look the same.
