Which Toyota plant in Georgetown assembled its first Camry prototype in 1988?

The Toyota plant in Georgetown that assembled its first Camry prototype in 1988 was Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky.

Toyota selected Georgetown, Kentucky, for its first wholly owned U.S. automobile assembly plant. The facility was initially called Toyota Motor Manufacturing USA and was announced in December 1986. Its location followed intensive efforts by Kentucky officials to attract Toyota investment.

On May 26, 1988, the plant assembled a prototype of the 1989 four-cylinder Camry. That milestone came before regular production and established the Georgetown factory as a major source of Camrys for the North American market. Toyota later added engine manufacturing, increasing the plant's local content.

A common mix-up is NUMMI in California, Toyota's earlier U.S. production operation, but NUMMI was a joint venture with General Motors. Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada was another early North American plant, located in Cambridge, Ontario, not Georgetown.
