Checker Motors manufacturing parts for GM

[GMAD_Van Nuys]

In 1976, Checker Motors began manufacturing parts for GM.  I remember seeing open rail cars delivering sub-frames to the Van Nuys Plant.  Hemmings had an article about parts that Checkers were making for GM:

Very interesting info!

The assembly plants were still paying outside suppliers by check when I worked at Van Nuys.  When Corporate sent out an advisory that fraudulent invoices were being sent out to various locations, I asked about an invoice we had recently received from Checker Motors.  I was surprised when I was told that they are one of our best suppliers.
