I got my information from a fellow who writes several articles on Chryslers
in Collectible Automobile Magazine. His name is Jeffrey Godshall and I
believe he worked for Chrysler in the late 50's. He wrote, and I quote "Most
of these Plodges were built in Chrysler's Tecumseh Road assembly plant in
Windsor, Canada,south of Detroit, while models designated for overseas (the
Kingsways) were usually constructed in Windsor and in Plymouth's Lynch Road
plant in Detroit."
