Message:   In Los Angeles, from 1933 until 1958.
Last bit of trivia, from the "Los Angeles Almanac"
Los Angeles’ Auto Manufacturing Past

During the 1940s through the 1960s, Los Angeles County had become the second largest auto manufacturing region in the nation, following closely behind Detroit. Studebaker, Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors manufactured cars here. At its peak, more than 15,000 auto workers assembled half a million cars per year. By 1965, the L.A. Times even suggested that Los Angeles had replaced Detroit as the nation’s auto capital. When the 1970s arrived, imports began consuming a significant portion of the auto market in Los Angeles. The Chrysler plant in the City of Commerce became the first major auto plant to shut down. Other plant shut downs followed until the region’s last remaining auto plant, the General Motors facility in Van Nuys, closed in 1992."

2 Ford Plants, with the last plant closing in 1980.
2 GM plants with the last plant closing in 1992.
Willys-Overland, began production 1929.
Nash, began production 1946.
Kaiser-Frazer, began production 1948.
And finally, LA produced more tires than any other city outside of Akron, Ohio, with huge Goodyear and Firestone plants until the 1960's.
It's all in our rear view mirror.....
