GM’s Toledo Propulsion Systems celebrates the past and future of the automobile at Oscar Bunch Park
2024-10-23
Just steps from the General Motors Toledo Propulsion System (TPS) facility in Ohio is Oscar Bunch Park. GM employees, retirees, and their families recently joined Toledo community members in celebrating the past, present, and future of the automobile at this beautiful public space.
Alongside a display of classic cars owned by TPS team members, GM showcased a variety of new electric vehicles, providing an opportunity for test drives.
The event also highlighted TPS's commitment to the community with an announcement of $100,000 in local community impact grants.
This was a landmark moment for Oscar Bunch Park. Named for the late UAW president Oscar Bunch, the park had not held a public event since 2019. The park was officially reopened earlier this year with help from UAW Local 14, which represents Toledo Propulsion employees.
“Our joint efforts at reopening the park and bringing this event back not only excited our workforce and retirees, but it also created enthusiasm for our EV products within the community,” said Tony Totty, UAW Local 14 president.
“The entire team was over the moon,” said Tammy Golden, Toledo Propulsion’s executive director. “Many of our employees, past and present, were thrilled to hear the park was reopening. It holds a very special place in their hearts.”
