It's changed a lot since then.

Probably 3 or 4 times larger today? Currently the 11th largest in the country (4th largest in Texas).

Automotive plants bring a lot of jobs, not only direct employment but there will be a need for a lot of suppliers.

Assembly plants cover a lot of ground. Just as your video shows - it takes awhile just to drive by.
