I suspect not. If it was anything like today then a small percentage of the assemblers are what you and I would consider "car guys". All the rest are just folks trying to make a living, either because they got hooked on the money right out of high school or because they had a dad/uncle/aunt/cousin that worked "in the shop" and got them in.
After a few hundred times doing the same thing in your first day the "new wears off" pretty quickly.
There's probably a few more car guys in the skilled trade ranks (pipefitter, electrician, welder, die maker, etc)
