Products
[edit]- 1974-2003 Dodge Ram Van / Dodge Ram Wagon
Closing
[edit]As the full size van market declined, and Chrysler's share of the market shrunk, Chrysler discontinued the Ram Van and Wagon in 2003. Unable to secure a replacement product, the plant closed July 2003, despite a recently constructed paint shop building. The original assembly plant and adjacent paint shop building were subsequently demolished.[3]
