  6. Pure heaven for a Mopar lover. I grew up in Detroit (1940's to late 1960's) 3 blocks from the Plymouth plant, 6 blocks from the Packard plant and about 1/2 mile from Dodge main. Most of my neighbors and friends worked at these plants. My Dad worked for a parts supplier to Chrysler. I worked at the Chrysler Tech Center for 42 years.................Chrysler is all I have ever owned and known. There was a Fruehauf trailer plant about a mile away. Seeing Mopar car haulers was an every day event.
