A postcard showing the corner of Detroit and Saginaw streets in Flint, seen through wrought iron arch with sign "Flint Vehicle City". The signs were actually erected in the late 1800s because Flint was the leading center of carriage production (also called "vehicles") in the country.[1]

Flint, Michigan is a city which previously relied on its automotive industry, and still does to an extent. Over the past several decades, General Motors plants in Genesee County have experienced re-namings, management shifts, openings, closures, reopenings, and spinoffs.
