LANSING, Mich. — General Motors (GM) announced Thursday that the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro will be built at its Lansing Grand River Assembly plant, resuming a second shift of 500 jobs to the Michigan plant.

A Camaro model hasn't been made in the U.S. since the early 1990s. The fifth-generation Camaro was built at GM's Oshawa (Ontario) Assembly plant in Canada.

The sixth-generation muscle car was unveiled May 16 at Belle Isle Park in Detroit. GM has yet to reveal a retail price, but said the Camaro will be available in dealerships by the end of this year.

Work will begin on the Camaro Six in late summer.
