Last auto plant?
Though the reference, the WSWS, stated that Buick City was the last GM assembly in Flint, it is actually the last Buick assembly in Flint. The city proper still contains a GMC truck assembly in the southwest corner. See this EPA report for a cite. DDerby(talk) 05:03, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Roger & Me
The current chronology is misleading - Roger & Me was filmed during and shortly after the creation of Buick City. The closing the film documented was the closing of the obsolete Fisher Body plant that occurred in 1987. Cars no longer were made with a steel chasis - the operations of making the body and final assembly were consolidated in the original Buick Factory. The body fabrication line was converted to robotic welding machines, doing away with the need for the 3,100 Fisher Body employees who were still welding car bodies by hand. The current wording implies that Roger & Me was filming the closing of Buick City, when it was actually chronicling the opening of Buick City (Fisher Body was not part of Buick City)
Assembly operations at Buick City ceased in 1999, but the engine plant on the North End of the complex continued to make engines used by other car lines. The final engines were built in August 2008. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:A000:DA80:5B00:D12A:D140:7130:C986 (talk) 16:04, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
