LORDSTOWN, Ohio - Workers began trickling out of the General Motors Lordstown plant Wednesday afternoon after their last full day of production on the job. 

The final Chevy Cruze rolled off the line Wednesday afternoon after being completed by employees. 

UAW 1112 President Dave Green tells 21 News that the car will go through quality control Thursday morning, before being shipped off to a local dealership. 

Green would not say which dealership but told 21 News that he reached out to try to buy the Cruze himself and was told someone from the Valley had already purchased it. 

As employees wrapped up their work on the last Chevy Cruze to be built in the plant, they drove off the property to a rally of community members, UAW members, and area leaders. 

They were also met by media from national outlets such as CNN and the New York Times, as well as crews from around the Valley, Cleveland, and other areas. 

General Motors announced in November that the Lordstown plant would go into an "unallocated" status following the end of the Chevy Cruze. 

The final Cruze began its journey through the plant late last week, signaling the final shifts for many workers, as it traveled first through the stamping plant, then through the remainder of the line. 

Positions at companies that create parts for the Chevy Cruze, such as Magna Seating and Comprehensive Logistics, also had their last days. 

GM spokesman Dan Flores emailed the following response to an inquiry from 21 News about what will happen to the plant when the last Chevy Cruze rolls off the line:

When Cruze production ends this afternoon, the plant will be maintained in a safe and secure status and the property will continue to be owned by General Motors. Long term disposition of the facility will be determined after the UAW-GM contract negotiations later this year.
