Chevy’s new breed of mid-size
vehicles introduced this spring

“THE NEXT generation of
Chevrolet mid-size passenger cars,
the Chevrolet Lumina, will arrive
this spring in dealer showrooms,”
said George A. Peapples, president
and general manager of General
Motors of Canada.

The Chevrolet Lumina is the
first four-door model of GM’s new
series of mid-size cars. The
previous models of this new series
include the Oldsmobile Cutlass
Supreme, Buick Regal and Motor
Trend’s ‘‘Car of the Year’’ in
1988, the Pontiac Grand Prix, and
were available initially only as
two-door coupe models.

The Chevrolet Lumina goes into
full production in January, 1989 at
“GM Autoplex’ — General
Motors of Canada’s Oshawa
automotive complex. This facility
is the ‘state of the art’? among

GM plants and employs the latest
technology including ‘‘Jv-t-In-
Time”’ material delivery and syn-
chronous assembly processes.

There are only four plants in
North America building these
mid-size family cars and Oshawa
has two of them. During the de-
cade of the 199s, General Motozs
has invested mare than $8 bifiion
in its Canadian automotive faciti-
ties to modernize and prepare them
for the competitive years ahead.

Peapples said that the decision
to build the next generation
Chevrolet Lumina in Canada is a
reflection of the confidence that
General Motors Corporation has
in GM of Canada. ‘‘To be chosen
to build one of the most important
cars in Chevrolet’s history is a
