Among the cars built at Norwood were the Chevrolet Bel Air, Biscayne, Impala, Nova, Caprice, Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, and the Buick Apollo.

As a result of the strike, 1,100 partially completed cars were scrapped or otherwise disposed of because it was not economically feasible to update them to the more stringent 1973 vehicle standards.

After the strike GM opted to move Nova production away from Norwood to protect the model from future labor problems.

[citation needed] The property was transformed into a mixed-use combination of business - office, light industrial and retail.

One mile away, two open-air shopping malls were built at the former R. K. LeBlond Machine Tool Company, located where Interstate 71 and Ohio State Rte 561 (Edwards Road) converge.

[citation needed] The plant constituted 35% of the City of Norwood's tax base, approximately $2 million annually.

The plant employed 430 Norwood residents at the time of its closing, with the remaining employees mostly living in and around the Cincinnati area.
