Hi All:
This assembly line picture is even more interesting because it is a 
pre-production car. The Clairpointe Plant was a "minature" pre-production 
plant 
located just behind the Jefferson Plant, and was used for the purpose of 
checking 
out the next year's cars, assembly procedures, tooling, and facilities prior 
to 
regular production. 
Gil,,, You are so right on the picture. I too worked there for many 
launches. Most memorable for me was the 81 Imperial and the K-bodies. For the 
K-bodies, every other week somebody from the government would show up with a Polaroid 
to photograph our progress. And progress we made! For those who don't know 
Clairpointe joined the Jefferson Assembly plant on the South side. It is all 
gone. I can still get nostalgic about it. Now we have the pilot plant right 
in the Chrysler Tech Center. The engineers have no excuse not to monitor and 
participate in the builds.
