Chrysler Corporation factories, offices, and testing grounds, 1924-1980 and 2005-2007

Get ready for a new axle plant, under construction in Marysville, Ohio, at the cost of $700 million (around 50 miles from Detroit). The plant will open in 2010, and will use UAW workers paid at the new “low” tier (except for those who transfer from the current Detroit Axle plant, which will be replaced by the Marysville facility).

Our big list of 1966 facilities (including Space and Defense) has been moved to its own 1966 Chrysler factories page.

Belvidere Assembly Plant

Put into service in 1965, the Belvidere plant was named for the city it is in, while the Belvedere car (introduced 14 years after the plant opened) was named after the hotel, causing the Webmaster consternation over spelling.

In late 1993, Belvidere had 3.3 million square feet of floor space covering 280 acres; it began Neon production on November 10, 1993. 3,250 hourly and 250 salaried employees were on staff, with an average age of 48 years and 23 years average length of service; their combined payroll was $231 million in 1992, when they built 125,000 cars. At the time, 380 robots were used; the plant had built 5.9 million vehicles through to the end of the 1993 model year. For photos of a Neon being built at Belvidere, click here.

Brampton Complex, Canada

Brampton Assembly:

Kennedy Road:

Opened in December, 1960, to make Ramblers; acquired when Chrysler bought AMC in 1987. Sold to Wal-Mart who converted it for their central Canadian warehouse/distribution facillity.

Conner Avenue (small-scale specialty production)

Dufferin Avenue, Toronto (1924-1929)

Opened by Dodge Brothers in 1924 to assemble Dodge Brothers cars and Graham Brothers trucks for the Canadian market. Closed when the Chrysler Centre plant in Windsor opened. Both Dodge Brothers cars and Graham Brothers trucks were made from 1928 to 1929.

Evansville (closed 1959)

Plymouth, 1935-1959; Dodge, 1936-1938

Fenton, Missouri

Truck and van plant built right next to the “St. Louis” car plant which is also located in Fenton. The Fenton plant made B-series vans and wagons until 1980.

Hamtramck

The former Dodge Main plant; after being closed, it was demolished, along with a huge number of homes and small businesses in a relatively prosperous area, to make room for a Cadillac plant, with eminent domain used to clear people off of the land, some getting ten cents to the dollar of their homes’ or businesses’ value. The Cadillac plant was heavily automated and never employed anywhere near the number of people promised by General Motors, which, in addition to the land, received millions of taxpayer dollars to build their factory.

Highland Park

This was the Maxwell plant from 1913 with the collapse of the United States Motor Car Company. The complex was the headquarters of Chrysler until the move to Auburn Hills. After car assembly ended, the plant built various parts over the years including the fluid couplng and torque converter units for Fluid Drive and Fluid Torque Drive.

Jefferson Avenue

This was the original Chalmers plant, built around 1909, and used to build Maxwell cars under contract in 1916 as Maxwell needed more space and Chalmers had too much. When it was closed in 1990 or 1991, it was one of the oldest running American auto assembly plants. The nearby Jefferson Avenue North plant, which has made Grand Cherokees and Commanders ever since, was built as the result of a land deal between Chrysler and the City of Detroit (thanks, Ken Chester Jr., for the correction and additional information). According to Bill Watson, DeSotos were made here starting in 1933.

Bill Watson wrote that this plant was opened for DeSoto production in 1928 or very early 1929, moving to Jefferson Avenue in 1933.

McGraw Avenue

Christopher Bingham researched this plant and found it was purchased from General Motors in 1936, and started DeSoto production in model-year 1937. DeSoto left in 1958 due to slow sales and a recession, to be built alongside Chrysler models on Jefferson Avenue; the 1959 model year DeSoto would be the first built after McGraw, which was converted to glass production. As of 2007 McGraw Glass was still in production, but was slated for shutdown.

Bill Watson, on the other hand, wrote that McGraw Avenue was the stamping plant (oil pans, valve covers, etc.) located next to the Wyoming Avenue plant, and said that no cars were actually built in this plant; it was converted to glass production in 1960, according to Bill.

Mound Road

Mound Road Engine in Detroit, Michigan was closed in 2002 after a 47-year run, with production shifting to Mack Avenue; both V8 and V10 engines had been made there. The Mound Road plant was torn down in 2003 and has been paved over and used as a storage lot for Warren Truck.

twinsburg stamping plant

Stamping plant, opened 1956.

In 2002, Chrysler added numerous automated technologies to the 1.5 million square foot facility, including automatic guided vehicles from FMC and materials handling robots guided by a vision system (Cognex); these replaced a fleet of 103 lift trucks (now down to 35 lift trucks). The most dangerous lifting (due to weight of objects and sharp edges) are is now handled by robots. In 2002, Chrysler reported that the plant included fifteen lines, working continuously, making parts for minivans, the Neon, Durango, and Ram.

Warren Avenue

Built by Paige-Detroit Motor Co. in the mid-1920s and used by Paige-Detroit and then Graham-Paige until 1947, when Chrysler bought the plant and used it for DeSoto body and engine production until 1959, when it switched to Imperial; after Imperial production moved back to Jefferson, the plant was used for small parts production for a few years.

Warren (Dodge City) truck plant

CNT900 wrote: “There was another Warren plant that produced the heavy duty Dodge diesels up until 1975. I think that plant was sometimes called Sherwood? There was also a truck plant that was mentioned in some service literature called Burt Road. Don't know anything about that one.”

Windsor (Ontario)

Also see:

Currently making minivans, this is also the plant where employees (in the early 1990s) rose and demanded that their plant manager let them increase quality; the result was far higher quality, millions of dollars in reduced costs, and far lower scrap, reducing Chrysler’s environmental impact. The “quality uprising” was not, for some reason, spread to other plants, but may have been partly and indirectly responsible for the empowerment trend that led to the current work team arrangement. For years, thanks to this uprising, advocates recommended getting minivans built in Canada over ones built in the United States.

windsor waste disposal

The nearby Pillette Road B-van plant, also in Windsor, has been closed since the takeover. The Pillette Road plant made B-vans and wagons from 1980 through 2003. The following list is only for the minivan plant that is still open.

“Bluecon” noted that the Pillette Road van assembly factory was Plant 6; Plant 2 was the Windsor Engine Plant, just south of the existing minivan factory Plant 3), which closed around 1980 after making six and eight cylinder powerplants. He thought the assembly plant where they made L’il Red Wagons and large trucks was Plant 1, closed in the 1970s (around 1977), and that the Spring Plant closed around the same time; the final plant, he belives, was a foundry.

canadian chrysler factory

The Windsor plant had made a much greater variety of vehicles before the 1965 Auto Pact; to quote The Chrysler Canada Story, “...the factories in Windsor quickly integrated into the North American industrial strategy. The mix of models running down the assembly lines in Windsor was significantly cut. Valiant (not Plymouth) Barracudas, Plymouth Belvideres, Dodge Coronet and Charger models and Imperials were imported while Dodge Darts (not built or sold in Canada previously) were now assembled and exported Stateside. That ability to concentrate on building fewer models translated into a 35% higher rate of productivity. In the first two years of Auto Pact, Chrysler Canada exported nearly 60% of all the Canadian vehicles delivered to the US market. ... [a decade later,] Windsor was chosen to be home to the new, downsized luxury Chrysler Cordoba and the upscale Dodge Charge SE. Canada got the nod specifically because head office knew full well that Canadian-built cars were of higher quality than those built in American plants. It was no secret that folks working in upper management positions in the US routinely ordered Canadian-made vehicles for personal use. ”

Bill Watson wrote:

There have been four plants in Windsor over the years -

Tecumseh Avenue at McDougall - Built by Chalmers in 1916, and used for assembly of Chalmers (1916-1924) and Maxwell (after the Maxwell plant burned down in 1916). [Chris Z. added: “Maxwell's building became Chrysler's Plant 1. It was used for Chrysler truck production (Graham, Fargo, Dodge) from 1931 to 1978 and as the Imperial Quality Assurance Centre from 1980 to 1983. Plant 1 (Tecumseh Road at McDougall) was used for truck production until 1978 and an engine plant, built in 1938, was operated until 1980.” The trucks built there were, from 1972, the commercial D-400 to D-700 models.]

Walkerville - When GM announced Fisher Body was no longer going to supply bodies for non-GM makes, Chrysler of Canada had a big problem. There were no other body builders in Canada who could take up Chrysler's business. In the U..S. Chrysler, who also used Briggs, Murray, and Hayes, acquired a body plant on Kercheval Avenue. But in Canada the only large body builder, Canada Top and Body in Tilbury, Ontario, was busy with its work for Durant and Willys. Studebaker and Ford built their own bodies in Canada and neither Briggs nor Murray had Canadian operations. Chrysler of Canada decided to acquire the two Fisher Body plants in Walkerville where Chrysler bodies had been built. When the Chrysler Centre plant opened, body production was moved there and the Walkerville plants sold.

Wyoming Avenue

Built by the Saxon Motor Corporation (builders of a small car backed by Hugh Chalmers) in 1919. After Saxon went under, GM bought the plant for export business. Purchased by Chrysler in 1934, it was converted and expanded for car assembly in 1936 (calendar year).

Other plants

chrysler de venezuelascook6 wrote: “Lago Alberto assembly plant was opened in 1938 (I believe) and closed in 2002. It originally assembled knock-down kits but later became a full assembly plant. My 2002 Dodge Ram was made there.”

The plant in Venezuela started building third-generation Jeep Cherokees (Libertys) in 2007; it had been making various Jeep and Mercedes models for years.

Indianapolis Shadeland Ave. Electrical plant: closed in the 1970s

Gary W. added: The Maxwell plant in Dayton, Ohio was converted to become the home of the Airtemp Division which became Chrysler Dayton Thermal (after the sale of Airtemp in 1976), then Acustar Dayton Thermal, then Chrysler Dayton Thermal, then DaimlerChrysler Dayton Thermal, then Behr Dayton Thermal. They also did some stuff there for Chrysler Defense.

A. Rutky wrote that (we’ve confirmed this) the plant built in 1969-1970 for non-automotive Airtemp manufacturing was shut down in 1976; the current Corvette plant has been on that site since 1982.

Briggs

“scatpackmopar” wrote: “I don't see any mention as to which Briggs plants became Chrysler plants after Chrysler bought out Briggs manufacturing in 1953. I know Briggs had plants in Michigan and Indiana. Before the buyout Briggs was the largest auto body maker in the world making cars for Chrysler, Plymouth, DeSoto, Dodge, Ford, Auburn, Packard and a few others. Briggs designers designed the 1941 Chrysler Thunderbolt and a few Chrysler Imperials. The man who designed the Tucker was a former Briggs designer.”

Bill Watson wrote:

When Chrysler acquired Briggs's American car body operation in 1953 for $35 million, they acquired 12 plants. Briggs had built Plymouth bodies; Dodge, DeSoto and Chrysler bodies were built by Chrysler, for the most part. Over the years the majority of the plants were closed and sold off. The big move came with the change to unibody construction. With unibody, all body operations moved into the assembly plants. The Evansville body plant was closed in 1959, for example, when replaced by the St. Louis plant. The Briggs Youngstown (OH) stamping plant was replaced by a bigger operation in Twinsburg, Ohio, in 1956. The body plant was closed with the expansion of the Newark and Lynch Road plants.

A number of the Detroit facilties were used, although one, on Conner Avenue, was sold to Packard. The plant built Packard bodies and for the 1955 model year Packard moved all body/chassis operations there. The Grand Boulevard plant, site of auto assembly operations for over 50 years, totaled 4.5 million square feet. That was replaced, and combined with body building operations, with the 1 million square foot Conner plant. To say Packard had problems would be an understatement.
