WOW!!! What amazing pictures! Things sure have changed. I love the shot of the man hand painting the trunk lid seam of the sedan. I'd kill to own that transport full of Plymouths too! It's amazing how they designed, built, finished and sold cars all without a single computer. Pure craftsmanship.

 

some very cool old pics you've got there

 

Very cool !,.. Thanks for posting.

 

Lovin the respirator on the guy spraying the paint! I bet he was always in a good mood but not necessarily coherant!

 

pretty cool stuff.

 

Fantastic pics. The pics of the press stamping out roof sections is awesome.

 

Probably wondered why he always had a headache

















OK, who wants one?

Diggin' the COE. Never seen one like it. any idea who made it?

 

Thank You for the photos Mr. William Vandivert

 

Wonderful trip down memory lane. Great Plymouth pictures. I especially like the Cadillac/LaSalle factory in Detroit, both design center and factory.....Thanks,Mike

 

Stamping the roof is a great picture. Think of the guy that made the dies for that.

 

Thanks for the great pictures!

 

Great pictures....I've checked them out several times..thanks for listing them..

 

My guess is braking/acceleration.

Great set of pics, wish they could still build em like that.

I'm tired of beans.

I like how this guy is so proud, he wears a Tie to work at the Auto factory. Good on him!

I wish it was a colour photo so we could see all the neat old colours.
