Los Angeles (Maywood) Assembly was a Chrysler assembly plant located in the City of Commerce, near Maywood in southeastern Los Angeles County, California. It was an assembly location where vehicles were shipped by railroad in " knock-down kits " from Detroit, where they were locally assembled, combined with locally sourced parts.
