Interior view of assembly line at the Chrysler factory in Commerce, CA, 1950-1953. In the center, a man bends over the front of an unfinished 1953 Dodge while holding both arms inside the car. The car sits on an assembly line track with multiple workers tinkering with parts of the car. A man wearing a baseball cap is visible in a ditch between the tracks and beneath the car. In the background, the frame of a 1953 Plymouth Suburban, a lightly colored station wagon, hangs on beams waiting to be placed onto the assembly line.
