I know the plant was at what is now ford city mall in chicago and I was told when the plant was closed parts were loaded in to dump trucks and dumped in the quarry on 95th and ridgeland in chicago ridge,il and the chicago ridge mall was built on top of them.

A sad story indeed...if only someone had just saved them and put them away.<br>
<br>
Reminds me of the fate of the neat Chrysler Turbine Car...these beautiful, handcrafted beauties (around 55 of them were built by hand...sound like the Tucker?) were scrapped per order of the U.S. Customs office because Ma MoPar refused to pay the import tax on the Ghia Italian-crafted bodies. So they torched them and destroyed most of them in a Detroit scrapyard around 1967-68 except for 9 which remain, most of them in museums...Bill H.<br>
