We just got a press release from Chrysler Group regarding an upcoming media event at the site of the former Jeep assembly facility.
- Chrysler Group to announce future of the smokestacks on the Parkway site
- Plant was oldest manufacturing facility in North America, including 64
years of manufacturing Jeep products
- Operations moved to the $2.1 billion state-of-the-art Toledo Supplier
Park in 2006
After a proud 96 year history and the production of more than 11 million vehicles, demolition of the former Jeep Parkway site is almost complete. Please join us at an event to celebrate the history of the facility and to discuss the future of the site.
When: Monday, June 18 - 10:00 a.m.
Photo Opportunities:

The press release reads like those smokestacks might be coming down...

 Re: Chrysler to Commemorate Jeep History at Former Toledo...Good point. I normally reference them as DaimlerChrysler.
At any rate, it would be pretty satisfying either way... |

Re: Chrysler to Commemorate Jeep History at Former Toledo... I'd pay good money to throw one of those bricks through the biggest window I could find at Chrysler for what they've done with the Jeep brand...

Re: Chrysler to Commemorate Jeep History at Former Toledo... A good tribute to the history of Jeep would be to either create a museum at the site of the stacks or use the bricks from the stacks to build a new building (either at that site or somewhere else) to house a museum of Jeep history.

Re: Chrysler to Commemorate Jeep History at Former Toledo... What a tribute to Jeep heritage if they made a permanent Camp Jeep park on the site. Of course, with all the enviornmental concerns and anti-recreationists in the world, it might not even be possible.

Re: Chrysler to Commemorate Jeep History at Former Toledo... A.)* Chrysler Group to announce future of the smokestacks on the Parkway site
B.)* Final chance to capture the three smokestacks together against Toledo skyline Ok, either A.) is going to be a very anticlimatic announcement of "we are going to implode them" Or they are going to do something like sell the bricks from the original smokestacks to Jeep fans and give the money to charity? |

Re: Chrysler to Commemorate Jeep History at Former Toledo... The fact that they didn't put a museum on this site is a slap in the face to anything Jeep. One last kick in the crotch from Daimler before Cerebrus closes the deal...
