This was the Kenosha Engine plant back in the 1980s Quality Appreciation Day.

The Bodies were made at the Lakefront plant actually shipped across town get guts put in them and shipped back final finnishing.

Chrysler initially American Motors had spare capacity at its Kenosha and Milwaukee plants Lee Iaccocca struck a deal with em started making Chrysler Cars for em.

After the Buyout completed 1988 the Lakefront Body Plant was Torn Down afew years later.

The Engine Plant across town "Survived" another 20 some years but only employed a quarter the workers but designed and made some of Chryslers most iconic motors too that lasted them a generation too

May I also ask what was "Wrong" this kinda job.

Yeah it was "Long Hours " but ya made a "Living" too.

So ya showed up hungover or half stoned but ya Showed UP almost everyday and "Worked" did ya job on the line too plus  ya hadda "UNION" Protect Ya too talk 2 ya steward before talking 2 them kinda like when the Cops bust ya ask 4 a "Lawyer" before ya speak 2 them.

Paid Mortgages of a afew decades or so heck employees discount ya went 2 dealership & traded up your car up every 5 years too for brand new sitting in ya driveway and ya could actually "Afford" It too

Why did that work out back then but does not "Today
