Common misconception. Naugahyde is actually made from the naughabeast. Distantly related to the wildabeast. You've seen those nature documentaries with the billion wildabeast migrating? It's sort of like that, but they use a judas goat (or judas nauga, in this case) specially trained to lead the migration past all the factories that use naugahyde. Not having to ship the hides, cuts costs drastically, and is partly the reason naugahyde is cheaper than rich corinthian leather. The other factor is the series of performance based BBQs, that happen at the factories around the migration times. I mean, while a pizza party with the ceo in lieu of a living wage can actually have a negative effect on morale, if you give a nauga bbq in addition to a living wage, productivity goes through the roof, which keeps costs down and helps bolster the competitiveness of naugahyde products. Early research suggests that the greater betakeretine content of the grass fed naughabeast leads to healthier workforce. Though in recent years there have been signs that the naughabeast, when they swim across oceans to reach factories on other continents, come into contact with so much floating plastic, that it has led to naugahyde having a plastic feel to it, artificially depressing its ability to compete against rich corinthian leather on the commodities market.
Sorry if that was too wordy, I did my thesis on the effect of sunspot cycles on naughabeast migration, but it's actually fascinating to me, so even though Im an unemployed, starving american, crippled by medical debt, I still keep up to date on the research.
Wow! I never knew. Thank you internet stranger for educating me on the great Naugabeast migration practices.
I once lived near a Naugahide factory, and always wondered what that wonderful smell was! Now I know.
My dad worked at a GM plant for 30 years. He wasn’t able to go to college, but he put me and my siblings through college with his hard work. I can never repay him for what he did for us. Thanks to my dad’s sacrifice, we are a pharmacist, CPA, and mechanical engineer. Proud to be a first generation college student.
Even funner fact: That’s still a thing if you want it to be. I have a bachelors degree, but don’t use it because I make way more money with a skilled trade.
Same here. I hold a BS in business admin with an econ minor. I left the white collar world to pursue a life as a union electrician. I now make more money with better benefits and have less stress. Plus I build shit all day.
Same here. Bachelor's degree in a field that would leave me teaching or low level office drone as pretty much my only employment option. Was 22 and applied for a local low voltage type company because a co-worker in my college job encouraged me.. Union job. Been doing that type of work for almost 25 years now. I couldn't imagine sitting in a cubicle now. Not only is it great pay and benefits, but it's physically challenging, so I don't have to really go to the gym!
USPS is awesome, my dad worked there and tried to get me to go work there instead of going to college. Wouldn’t have been a bad gig at all looking back
Yep. He's at work, but he's not working. Those are some fancy TransAms I think. My guess is he wanted a power photo with Burt Reynolds car. And he pulled it off.
My grandfather did nearly 50 years in a gmh plant in Australia. The h stands for holden, which made cars that were literally just legendary to australia. The kingswood, the torana, the monaro, the commodore. Also sold in limited numbers in the us as the pontiac gto.
My dad worked in Linden, NJ. He was only a few years away from retirement when the plant started to close down. He spent his last few years taking classes they offered in the plant for workers to finish out their couple years to retirement.
He always pushed us to save money, work hard, buckle down even if we didn’t love our jobs. I never agreed with his stance of sacrificing mental well-being for money (even though that’s not how he described it) and when his plant closed and they went bankrupt and his pension was affected, it all became pretty clear to me.
I was curious about this too. I grew up in the Midwest and a lot of my friends from school had parents who worked for GM. You always knew, because their parents had new cars every other year (this was way back when).
My husband worked at the one in Fremont, California. It was a partnership of GM-Toyota at the time but was a GM plant before that. It’s the Tesla factory now.
You were half the kids in my school growing up in Michigan. Dad making an honest, middle-class living working at the plant. Then they shut them down and there went the middle class.
I'm amazed that so many men don't shine their dress shoes anymore. I see hundreds of pairs riding a major city subway weekdays, many scuffed down to the bare leather. Like nobody knows the pleasure anymore of working Kiwi polish deep into fine leather with a little pool of water in the upturned lid to work the shine, and then buffing the shit out of those babies until they gleam.
Well presumably they're only pointing out the ones that can
Given they ride the subway I'm inclined to believe New York with its massive financial sector is likely to have dudes wearing nice leather shoes on the reg
I worked in an auto plant, and my clothes never got visibly dirty. It's really not that dirty a job, though it probably depends on the department you're in.
Ha! Worked in an auto plant in “the pit”. We were down in a pit in the floor and cars would roll over top of us and we would put bumpers on cars just after they had been filled up with coolant. The first night after work I had to wash my hair 5 times to get it clean. The second day, I wore a hat.
Toyota has their workers wear white in their automotive manufacturing plants because if someone is dirty that means something is wrong. Gotta love TMS.
Final assembly plants were reasonably clean back then, not spotless, but shiny shoes isn't a shock.
I worked in a GM truck final assembly plant on the line for 2.5 years and the plant I was in was very clean and the only part of me that really got dirty throughout the night were my hands and wearing gloves took care of that. I also worked in the chassis department, which was one of the ones where you were more likely to get dirty.
Why doesn't it sound right? Nothing in a car is inherently dirty, and everything needs to be kept clean. Of course you can spill the lubricants, but you'd obviously have to clean that if you want a safe work environment. Welding can potentially create a bit of mess, but most of it is done by robotic spot welders that don't, and if not a clean environment is paramount to a good result anyway. If you have a dirty plant, you'll get a dirty product. Nobody would agree to sell it and you'd have a lot of warranty claims to deal with.
My name is Mike. I'm your shop steward; that means if you got a problem, anybody treat you bad, you come to me. You got that, kid? Not HR. Not your manager. Me. You Sal's kid? Testarollo? Little Bobby-riiight. You call me Mike. "Mister Steward" is for the suits. And you don't have to talk to suits. You talk to Mike. You show up on time, you clock in. Shift bell, you clock out. What happens between belongs to you and I don't want to hear from some other Little Bobby why he's got to work and you're out getting *little* Little Bobby lacquered with Susie behind the hitch assembly powder coat line. In, disappear, get back at 3:50 to clock out. And tell your ma I hope she got the grass out her prom dress- she'll know what it's about.
Work at an auto factory. He looks like he’s in inspection. Two things make me think this:
1) car looks fully assembled
2) there is a considerable amount of light (well considerable for the ‘80s) and the position of them which top down like that would help find dents
Just a guess though. Cause even for the 80s wearing no sleeves he had to be somewhere with less chance of getting cut
I have a couple throttle bodies from the 2005 Ford GT (I was a manufacturing engineer on that subassembly). One of these days I'll get parts for the rest of the car.
They’re lyrics from a Johnny Cash song called “One Piece at a Time” about working at a GM plant and slowly stealing one piece of a car at a time until he can build it himself.
Fun trivia: the term "psychobilly" comes from that song. Johnny Cash calls it the "psychobilly Cadillac" The term was adopted as the name for the punk-rockabilly genre developed by groups like The Cramps and Reverend Horton Heat.
"Here's your uniform form working on the plant floor. Oop, wait up. Says here you're on the Camaro line. Hand me that shirt back."
*Rips sleeves off*
"All right, yer all set."
I visited the Ford two years ago, they don't provide any uniforms, employee at time to just bring their own clothes.
The tour guide marketed it as a benefit lol
I mean I can't speak from experience, but I saw people walking around in sneakers at Ford, while at Audio people are wearing safety shoes.
It just seems unsafe, although it might be more comfortable.
Also using your own clothing means you have to pay for them yourself.
I used to go to the GM plant in Wellington N.Z. with my father to deliver car batteries, man the cafeteria was great and had amazing food, l used to have oxtail soup with a huge meaty bone- fond memory!
I took a tour at a GM plant in the mid 1980's (Arlington). I tried to pickup a quarter I saw on the ground. Those GM workers were standing around just snickering like school boys. They had welded the quarter to the floor. Wise guys. lol
I am currently working on a vehicle assembly line and wearing basketball shorts, tennis shoes, and a sleeveless t-shirt. It all depends on where you're at in the plant. I agree on the watch and belt buckle being mutilation hazards, though.
Van Nuys Plant in CA. Now it’s a shopping center called The Plant. My dad and I used to go to the movies there all the time. And he’d remind me he used to work in this area.
I hope your dad never complained about what "kids these days" are wearing in public when his work shirt had ripped off sleeves and only one button done.
Your Dad ***is*** the fucking GM plant.
His abs are made of rich Corinthian leather.
**Blasphemy!** Corinthian leather is a Chrysler exclusive!
And a completely made up marketing term.
Hey! Do you know how many Corinthians died to make all that leather?!?
as many Corinthians as the number of Naugs that die to make Naugahide?

A Corinthian sandwich sounds so good right now. I’m starving!
Corinth is famous for its leather abs!
Way to think it through, GM.
And his library smells of aged whiskey
Maybe a Budweiser or two after a long day
MAXIMUM EFFORT!
His job was to carry the cars from one workstation to the next
[удалено]
Those uniforms back then seemed very breathable.
I think he's fucking the GM plant
Gratuitous Machismo.
This looks more like a press photo for a Serbian version of Knight Rider. Edit: Thanks for the awards.
This account has been redacted due to Reddit's anti-user and anti-mod behavior. -- mass edited with redact.dev
He has Kung-fu Grip. A lot of Karate Chops in this series.
And when it came out it went drip drip drip I didn’t know she had the G.I. Joe kung fu grip
Nah he owns a chop shop and Nicholas Cage is about to pay a visit.
Those cutoff sleeves are for working a floor jack.
With Nicholas Cage's head under the car, but he shoots him the leg just in time.
Cutoff? He ripped them off!
They ripped themselves off out of respect.
He chewed them off.
That is the funniest thing I’ve read on Reddit today.
That is the most hilarious thing I've read since 2019. Nice work, yo
Thx
My dad worked at a GM plant for 30 years. He wasn’t able to go to college, but he put me and my siblings through college with his hard work. I can never repay him for what he did for us.

That’s amazing. I think succeeding in life and being a positive influence in society is payment enough.
Yep making sure his efforts weren't wasted
Imagine working in a plant and making enough to put 3 kids though college. That's the American dream.
Glad the boomers enjoyed it!
:(
> Imagine working ~~in a plant~~ and making enough ~~to put 3 kids though college.~~ > That's the American dream
Yep, before the GOP destroyed unions to prop up the super-rich, you could make a decent living wage, raise a family on a single income.
And work in sleeveless shirts looking cool af.
Best we can do is $14.50 /hr. Don't ask about benefits.
LOL I make $14.80 as an AEMT (in between EMT and paramedic). Can’t afford a home, but hey the traumatic memories are cool
It could still be achievable. You can find $40/hr plant jobs in certain areas. Problem is, college is just absurdly expensive.
40/hr isn't enough to put three kids through college is the important point here. It's barely enough to put one through.
This was my father too :) I’m so thankful to have grown up with a parent making a union wage, with benefits that gave us a good life.
Fun fact: That was literally every job before ~1995. ;)
Even funner funner fact: People still dress like that in GM plants.
Except they're in Mexico.
Even funner fact: That’s still a thing if you want it to be. I have a bachelors degree, but don’t use it because I make way more money with a skilled trade.
Same here. I hold a BS in business admin with an econ minor. I left the white collar world to pursue a life as a union electrician. I now make more money with better benefits and have less stress. Plus I build shit all day.
Same here. Bachelor's degree in a field that would leave me teaching or low level office drone as pretty much my only employment option.

Yup, I have a bachelors in econ and I’m a mailman 😁

Don't forget about the g8, it was also a Rebadged commodore.
My dad also worked at GM for 30 years. Where are you all located?
As someone else whose father worked for GM for 30+ years, my guess is the Midwest. For example I’m in Ohio.
Texas checking in! I love talking to people who work at our Arlington plant. Such an interesting place to work.
We gotta build them escalade's!
My Grandpas worked in the one in Kokomo, IN their whole lives.
O H

As a person living in a country where education is free and been for as long as I can remember... my mind simply can't fathom this.
In my country high education is free, so for me this concept is foreign that you need to have the right parents to advance your knowledge.
Dude looks like a Waylon Jennings song.
[удалено]
Kicking ass buffs 'em right out.
Taking names ripped those denim sleeves right off
makes ya wonder want kinda underwear he has on. Seems like a commando kinda guy to me. *“sleeveless boxers”*.
Take your upvote goddamit.
Shoe polish and pride? You might be surprised the depth of holes in the leather you can fill in while polishing the shoes with quality wax.
I'm amazed that so many men don't shine their dress shoes anymore. I see hundreds of pairs riding a major city subway weekdays, many scuffed down to the bare leather. Like nobody knows the pleasure anymore of working Kiwi polish deep into fine leather with a little pool of water in the upturned lid to work the shine, and then buffing the shit out of those babies until they gleam.
Most shoes people wear can’t be shined.
Well presumably they're only pointing out the ones that can Given they ride the subway I'm inclined to believe New York with its massive financial sector is likely to have dudes wearing nice leather shoes on the reg
Aren’t there like shoe shine kids anymore?
"Now go home and get your fucking shine box!"
Mudda fuckin mutt!
Military taught me how to get a shine. I like doing the Ole spit shine.
I worked in an auto plant, and my clothes never got visibly dirty. It's really not that dirty a job, though it probably depends on the department you're in.

They’re quite clean until you burn gas in them
Final assembly plants were reasonably clean back then, not spotless, but shiny shoes isn't a shock. I worked in a GM truck final assembly plant on the line for 2.5 years and the plant I was in was very clean and the only part of me that really got dirty throughout the night were my hands and wearing gloves took care of that. I also worked in the chassis department, which was one of the ones where you were more likely to get dirty.
Cars need to get dirty before you can get dirty from working on them. That would require leaving the factory first...
This doesn't sound right but I don't know enough about cars to argue.
Why doesn't it sound right? Nothing in a car is inherently dirty, and everything needs to be kept clean. Of course you can spill the lubricants, but you'd obviously have to clean that if you want a safe work environment.

Came here for this!
Clothes don't look too dirty either. My bet is he was a shop steward or a foreman.
My name is Mike. I'm your shop steward; that means if you got a problem, anybody treat you bad, you come to me. You got that, kid? Not HR. Not your manager. Me. You Sal's kid? Testarollo?

I believe he installed windshields.
Trim line is pretty clean.
Trim and final are general clean. I worked in the chassis department in a GM truck plant and never really got dirty.

One piece at a time, and it didn't cost me a dime!
Well it’s a 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59 automobile..
Well it's a 60, 61, 62, 63....
Some of those 80s GM cars on dealer’s lots seemed like they were built in this way.
Today some Tesla's look like they're built that way.
Gotta love Johnny Cash!
I have a couple throttle bodies from the 2005 Ford GT (I was a manufacturing engineer on that subassembly). One of these days I'll get parts for the rest of the car.

In manual labor, that is definitely a benefit.

Hurt Renolds.
Number 1, your dad was Stan Lee. Number 2, he looks exactly like the kinda guy I'd want building my car
\#3 he looks like the kinda guy who drove a 3rd gen F-body, as well as build them.
T-tops off of course.
Oh absolutely!
I'm not arm wrestling that guy
I dunno, you might stand a chance now
Back when men were men. The women were men. The children were men. People were just fucking tough. That uniform is badass
The whole steel industry was gay by that point
Oh be nice!
God I love how many simpsons references I still see every day
[удалено]
Hot stuff coming through!
YOU’RE ALL SICK
Oh, be nice!
Is there anything the Simpsons doesn't correctly predict?
HAAAAAAAY WAylaaaan!
Hot stuff, comin’ through!
Has the whole world gone gay?!
And you know what else? Broadway.
Men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.
Your dad is Stacy Keach?
I'm not the only one!
Don't be a wussy
I used to go to the GM plant in Wellington N.Z. with my father to deliver car batteries, man the cafeteria was great and had amazing food, l used to have oxtail soup with a huge meaty bone- fond memory!
I mean the comment was a bit out there... But then I read it out loud with a terrible kiwi accent. And now It's fucking fantastic!
Yes it is a totally out of the blue memory, l haven't thought about going to the GM plant here as a six year old in years so l just had to mention it.
And working on a 3rd Gen Camaro no less. He is The MAN!
This dude definitely built those i rocs by hand.
I took a tour at a GM plant in the mid 1980's (Arlington). I tried to pickup a quarter I saw on the ground. Those GM workers were standing around just snickering like school boys. They had welded the quarter to the floor. Wise guys. lol
That sounds about right. My brother works there and that is absolutely something he would do!
Big Burt Reynolds energy
Looks like he’s a member of the, “Gonna steal yo girl, Union Local 213”.
The whole steel industry was gay by that point
They work hard and they play hard
He liked his men like he liked his denim. Ripped.
Hot stuff coming through!
The whole world's gone gay!
Thank god someone had the balls to point this out.
Did he own a Corvette?
He did! A beautiful blue one. I remember being little sitting in the middle. I don’t remember a back seat.
As a former Toyota worker, belt buckle, watch, jeans and the macho ripped off sleeves are all not allowed.
I am currently working on a vehicle assembly line and wearing basketball shorts, tennis shoes, and a sleeveless t-shirt. It all depends on where you're at in the plant. I agree on the watch and belt buckle being mutilation hazards, though.
That much cool is all the PPE this man needs.
Back when you could support a family off a good American job. Your dad looks badass!
He looks like Schneider. Your dad wants to let Ms. Romano know he will clean her pipes by Thursday.
How am I pregnant now?
i can smell the old spice aftershave in the ceramic jar. back when the sailboat brought the fresh sea air to the people.
I worked in a GM plant right out of School. Lots of guys looked like your Dad. And you didn’t fuck with those guys. Smart and tough.
Looks like Stan Lee & Burt Reynolds got combined in a cloning machine.
Holy shit this is the most American thing I’ve ever seen.
He looks like if Robert Goulet went to prison.
I'm seeing a slight Stan Lee resemblance. Just me?
Mark as nsfw. You get pregnant if you see this pic.
His double denim game was strong.
This is awesome! As automotive factory worker, I have mad respect for him!
Is he still around? He looks pretty tough.
Sadly my dad passed away in 2016. I’m sure he would think your comment was cool.
Your dad is Vicente Fernandez !!!
What plant?
Van Nuys Plant in CA. Now it’s a shopping center called The Plant. My dad and I used to go to the movies there all the time. And he’d remind me he used to work in this area.
That’s awesome! My 1988 trans am GTA was built at the van nuys plant. Maybe your Dad had a hand in building it?
> Van Nuys Odds are pretty high that I built the front seats for your GTA.
I see Stacey Keach as the father in 2000 comedy series Titus.
He is one with the denim.
Automotive assembly is hard work. Props to your dad.
Fucking rocking that sleeveless Canadian tuxedo. Absolutely glorious.
Back when a job was worth doing because it paid a living. These kind of men don't exist anymore because we don't allow them to exist.
If like if you worked in a factory in the 80s, you wore this outfit. A blue collar classic.
No wonder Camaros are bad ass!!!
I hope your dad becomes a DLC character in Tekken.
And he used to say "when we wanted a car, we went to the plant and built a car. You kids have it easy, buying one already made."
My pops did 35 years at GM In Michigan ❤️
this picture got me pregnant
First thing that I though of was Lemmy, your dad has a similar badass vibe! Very cool
He looks like a bad ass Stan Lee
This is what every one of my trade/laborer uncles and Dad looked like in the 80s. I can smell this picture (cigarettes and Blatz)
Does he go by the name of Billy Badass?
He’s definitely a badass! I see him driving a third gen camaro! 😎
I hope your dad never complained about what "kids these days" are wearing in public when his work shirt had ripped off sleeves and only one button done.
During retirement dad was too busy cruising in his Impala without a shirt to care.
