<VV> Willow Run '79 and X Cars

[Ken Maxwell]

Hi All,
 
I was on that tour of Willow Run in '79. I remember watching a worker spot
welding the area around the rear window as the cars came down the line at a
pretty good clip. I was counting his welds as I watched and he was making
seven welds on his side for each car. As I watched, he made three welds and
the welder stopped working for some reason. I was amazed as he worked on the
welder to get it going again, It only took him 10 seconds or so but by that
time the car with three welds was well on down the line. I always wondered
if some poor soul got a car with four missing welds!
 
I spite of this experience, I purchased a loaded 1983 Citation X-11 4-speed
demo back in '83 and really liked the car. I did manage to do a 360 degree
spin on and icy road once with it, but it was a sharp looking and fun car to
drive.
