I can't recall which GM assembly plants in California, especially Southern California, were in operation in early 1981.

According to the all knowing Wikipedia South Gate closed in 1982 and Van Nuys closed in 1992.

Great photos of those very large box cars and they all look so good without any vandal graffiti on them, hoo-ray.

Thanks. 

It's entirely likely that the cars shown handled parts to those plants
