  • Kenosha Engine Plant Investigation and Cleanup
    Kenosha Engine Plant Investigation & Cleanup RR-894 February 2017 The former Chrysler Engine Plant property is located in the heart of Kenosha in southeast Wisconsin. The plant first opened for automobile production in 1902 under Thomas B. Jeffery and was part of Kenosha’s long-standing history in auto manufacturing, later housing Nash Motors and American Motors Company. The Kenosha Engine Plant property is 107 acres in size. Approximately 3,700 residential-related properties – of which 2,400 are single-family homes – and eight schools are located within one-half mile of the plant. Its general boundaries are: 52nd Street to the north; 60th Street to the south; 24th Avenue to the east; and 30th Avenue to the west. Over the years, a series of mergers and buyouts changed the company name several times – Nash Motors, Nash- Kelvinator and American Motors are a few examples. Eventually the Chrysler Corporation bought the site, and in 1998 Chrysler itself was bought by DaimlerAG, which owned the site until 2007, when Cerberus Capital Management bought the company. After manufacturing automobiles and automobile parts for over 100 years, the plant was a casualty of the 2009 recession and was shut down in the fall of 2010, after the A sign describing the history of auto production in Chrysler Corporation declared bankruptcy. Kenosha on the fence outside the Kenosha Engine Plant (photo courtesy DNR). Old Carco, a liquidation bankruptcy trust, owned the property after the Chrysler bankruptcy proceedings were finalized in May 2010. A settlement agreement, filed in the US Bankruptcy Court in October 2011, was reached with the state of Wisconsin, the city of Kenosha, the United States Government, JP Morgan Chase Bank (the first lien holder of the property), and the Old Carco Liquidation Trust.

  • 1909-1957 Introduction
    SERIAL NUMBERS FOR Hudson - Essex - Essex-Terraplane & Terraplane 1909-1957 INTRODUCTION A study of Hudson serial numbers is, to say the least an interesting exercise. I have been working on the numbers for over 30 years, and I doubt I fully understand the Hudson system. The main problem with researching these numbers is that over several sources I found many disagreements - even within Hudson publications. A good example of this confusion is the 1948-1954 numbers. Most Hudson sources give -101 as the starting number from 1948 thru 1954, regardless of model. Other sources gave other starting numbers. Over the years as we obtained more information from various sources, such as copies of two documents that listed 1946 thru 1954 Monthly Model Year Production Data giving a monthly break down of serial numbers, we have incorporated that data into our data base. For example for 1948 serial numbers 101-860 are shown as being produced in October 1947. We combined the two (1946-1947 and 1948-1954) into one document and it is reproduced in this booklet. When all is said and done we cannot say that these figures, especially the early numbers, are entirely accurate. We have done the best we can with what we had, but we feel that what we have is as accurate as can be found. The main sources of these numbers are as follows: Various Hudson parts book; Branhams Automobile Reference Book NADA Official Used Car Guides; Official Blue Book New & Used Car Guide We found the Branhams books to be quite accurate when compared against Hudson books.

  • The Evolution of the US Automotive Industry
    The Evolution of the U.S. Automotive Industry Course No: D05-004 Credit: 5 PDH Robert P. Tata, P.E. Continuing Education and Development, Inc. 22 Stonewall Court Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677 P: (877) 322-5800 [email protected] The Evolution of the U.S. Automotive Industry Copyright 2013 Robert Tata, B.M.S.E., P.E. All Rights Reserved Introduction The author, a licensed Professional Engineer, has also been employed in an engineering capacity by all “Big Three” automakers; GM, Ford, & Chrysler. Here he has sought to investigate the series of events that made Detroit, Michigan the automotive capital of the world. Detroit, Michigan is a place, off the beaten path, in an isolated glove-shape piece of land thrust up between two lakes, with sometimes very inclement weather. Ohio and Indiana, who were also active in the creation of the auto industry in the U.S., are in the same general area of the country as Michigan and share the same climate. How did the industry get its start in this three-state area. One would think that other parts of the country would be more conducive to the formation of such an important part of the history of this nation. Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana were not members of the original 13 states and therefore have to be considered less developed territories than the original thirteen states around the turn of the 19th century when the American gasoline powered automobile was invented. Read how the author has searched for the answers to these somewhat perplexing questions surrounding why Detroit became “The Motor City”.
