Can anyone help me identify the location of the Dodge heavy truck assembly plant, aka Sherwood Assembly? The large Dodge trucks [[semi-tractors, military M37s, etc.) were built there until Dodge stopped building heavy trucks in 1975.
I've been told that it was at the southwest corner of 9 Mile Road and Sherwood Ave. in Warren, on the east side of the railroad tracks from the main Dodge Truck plant, but the Detroit Edison aerials from '49 through '61 at the online Wayne State collection don't show anything at that location that looks big enough. The other buildings on the east side of the tracks between 9 and 8 Mile were part of the R. C. Mahon Co., a steel fabricator, I think.
Could Sherwood Assembly have been south of 8 Mile?
