Well I started a post on the South Chrysler Assembly Plant being torn down. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...part=1&vc=1
This is a post on the removal of the North Assembly Plant.

The North plant assembled over a million Dodge Rams.

The plant was closed for good in early July 2009.
Chrysler has implemented an early idling of the St. Louis North assembly plant. With this change, the Dodge Ram 1500 Regular Cab, which was previously built at St. Louis, will now be built at Saltillo, starting with the 2010 model.

Lets see some Rams that were built at the north plant.

I will be posting some pictures of the progress.

Have they decided that its coming down too

1999 2500 HD V10 Assembly Point/Port of Entry: FENTON MISSOURI, U.S.A.

This stuff was not there last week. The cat looks like it was digging a large enough hole to get to the sewer/ water lines. The air handlers on the roof now are marked with large numbers, like the south plant had. There is jersey barrier blocking the north most parking lot.

The 2009 Dodge Ram pickup truck was built at two Chrysler manufacturing facilities in the United States, St. Louis North (Fenton, Missouri) and Warren, Michigan; 2009 Dodge Ram Crew 1500 crew cab and Quad Cab® pickups will be built at Warren Truck. Ram standard cab and Quad Cab pickups were built at St. Louis North until 2009, when the plant was shut down. RamBox production moved at that time from St. Louis to Warren.

With over a $400 million combined investment at the two assembly plants, each facility underwent extensive upgrades. Enhanced processes and new technology will also benefit future product launches and product variants due to the greater levels of flexibility.

In St. Louis North (closed in summer 2009), the body shop was completely rebuilt, with the addition of 210 new robots and more than one mile of new conveyor, including an extensive use of clean, quiet, friction-drive conveyance systems.

The Warren Assembly Plant added a 200,000-square-foot body shop with new automation, including 270 new robots, several new conveyors and use of a fast, quiet pallet conveyance system. In both facilities, the trim, chassis and final areas implemented a new sun roof installation process as well as modifications to the seat delivery system.

This was what was in the hole. I believe it was the water supply line from the treatment plant.

Hole fill and the machine out side the fence ready to move on to its next job.

Today they started into the power plant, and outer parts. Sad to see it on the chopping block but it looks as there is no hope left.

Some more loss

I thought I saw something about a college/university buying the property and/or offices?

They are making a fortune in scrape metal. Looks like a gold mine to me. Too bad the chinesse will buy most of it.

Last year, the federal government announced a $1.6 million dollar grant to help the city, state, and county pay for the marketing plan.

Where is this money going?

I hope that My taxes aren't paying for the demo.

Smity2 posted these pictures of the truck plant on the south plant page. He writes: I was apart of a cummins tour in late july of 96. I took a few pics, and pretty much lagged behind in our group so they lost track of us. At that point we made our own tour. It was really hard to get to the upstairs paint booth though. Here are a few pics..
