Buffalo Assembly was a former Chevrolet manufacturing facility located in Buffalo, New York. In 1923, Chevrolet opened the factory to build the Chevrolet Superior and while Chevrolet also had a factory at North Tarrytown Assembly the address was 1001 East Delevan Avenue and continued to manufacture until WWII, when it was refitted to build rear axles for passenger cars and trucks.[1] In 1984, Chevrolet-Buffalo became part of GM-Saginaw where it was renamed Saginaw Gear and Axle. Production and operations ended in 2007. The Chevrolet Buffalo factory represented a long history of building automobiles in the area, along with Pierce-Arrow and the earlier Thomas Motor Company, while Ford still maintains a factory to date. It is currently identified as the Historic American Axle Building.
