KANSAS CITY, KAN. — General Motors Corp.'s Fairfax assembly plant hit a major milestone Friday, producing its 10 millionth vehicle.
Three employees, each with at least 50 of years experience at the plant, drove the vehicle, a black 2006 Malibu Maxx, off the line. Fairfax also builds the Chevrolet Malibu.
