Kenosha Chrysler Plant
| One of a group of photographs taken to document the appearance of the Chrysler Company plant in Kenosha in 1989. The factory, which was then the oldest automobile plant in the nation, was built in 1917 by the Nash Motors Company. It was subsequently owned by American Motors which was acquired by Chrysler in 1987. Chrysler ended vehicle production in Kenosha at the end of 1988 despite a previous promise not to do so, thereby laying off 4800 workers. More recently, automobile engines have been manufactured at the plant. |
