Los Angeles (Maywood) Assembly was a Chrysler assembly plant located in the City of Commerce, near Maywood in southeastern Los Angeles County, California. It was an assembly location where vehicles were shipped by railroad in "knock-down kits" from Detroit, where they were locally assembled, combined with locally sourced parts. Vehicles assembled at Maywood were largely sold in California and the Western United States. It operated from 1932 until 1971, at 5800 Eastern Avenue and Slauson Boulevard.

The Ford Maywood Assembly Plant was across the street and began operations in 1948. GM later opened the South Gate Assembly farther south in 1936.[1]

Production

In 1932 the Los Angeles Assembly manufactured Dodge and Plymouth trucks. During World War II the plant switched to war production, manufacturing over 40,000 aircraft engines, as well as Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and Lockheed PV-2 cabin tops.

From 1948 until the factory was sold and production ended in 1954, Plymouth and Dodge passenger cars were built at 1933 Davis Street, San Leandro, CA. The plant was briefly listed as a parts plant until it was sold to International Harvester in the 1960s where they built Class 8 semi tractors then sold to Caterpillar in 1975. It is currently the location of Westgate Shopping Center.[2]
