The last minivan to be produced at Chrysler ’s St. Louis South assembly plant in Fenton, Missouri, rolled off the line at 12:40 pm yesterday. Effective immediately, the St. Louis South plant is out of commission – and with its closure, 1,700 auto workers are without jobs. Chrysler will continue production at the nearby St. Louis North assembly plant, which produces the Dodge Ram .
Chrysler’s Town & Country and Dodge Caravan minivans will continue to be produced in Canada, however.
