Isn't it curious to see two totally different models of cars on the same line from two different branches, Dodge and Plymouth.

Dodge Main. Trim & Final were on 2nd or 3rd floor. Drove vehicles down a ramp to a Final Inspection Building outside. We pick-up my brother's '68 Charger right at the plant Oct. '67. He nearly had a heart attack when his car came off the line with wws & hubcaps. They ran it back thru the Inspection Building to swap the wheels and tires out for the redlines and Road Wheels he ordered.
I worked there summer '73 building E-Bodies and 2dr A-Bodies. Summer help worked a different job every night.

Mine actually did that when I had the hoses connected wrong.

PPE is always optional just keep your head on a swivel looking for the safety man.
