Toluca Car Assembly is a 220-acre (89 ha)[1] Stellantis (ex-Chrysler Group) automobile factory in Toluca, Edomex, Mexico, opened in 1968. Toluca Stamping is located nearby.[clarification needed]
In March 2006, DaimlerChrysler announced a US$1 billion investment[1] in the plant creating a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) to allow simultaneous production of vehicles of differing platforms.[2][self-published source?] The plant currently assembles the Jeep Compass for the North and Latin American markets.
The expanded Chrysler Park adjoins the plant and represents a joint venture of eight outside suppliers, including TRW, Magna Intier, IPO, Seglo, HBPO, Android, Brose and Gestamp.[1]

The Dodge Spirit is a midsize car that was sold by Dodge from the 1989 to 1995 model years. Slotted between the Dodge Shadow and Dodge Dynasty in size, the Spirit served as the successor of the Dodge Aries K-car; as Chrysler streamlined its mid-size lines, the Spirit also replaced the Dodge Lancer and Dodge 600. Produced solely as a notchback four-door sedan, the model line was sold alongside the Plymouth Acclaim and Chrysler LeBaron; the model line was exported to Europe as the Chrysler Saratoga. The Dodge Spirit and its counterparts used the Chrysler AA platform, an evolution of the Chrysler K platform. Benchmarked against the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry during its design, the Spirit grew in size over its Aries predecessor to allow for increased passenger space. In another change, both turbocharged I4 and V6 engines became optional. Chrysler assembled the Spirit alongside the Acclaim and LeBaron at its Newark Assembly (Newark, Delaware) and Toluca Car Assembly (Toluca, Mexico) facilities; the last vehicle was produced on December 9, 1994, as Dodge replaced the model line with the Dodge Stratus (selling both for the 1995 model year).
The Dodge Shadow and Plymouth Sundance are compact 3-door and 5-door hatchbacks that were introduced for the 1987 model year by the Chrysler Corporation. For 1991, a 2-door convertible variant was added to the Shadow lineup; this bodystyle was not offered by Plymouth. The Sundance/Shadow replaced the Omni/Horizon models of their respective marque. The first vehicle rolled out of Sterling Heights Assembly on August 25, 1986. In late 1988, production of the Mexican market version called the Chrysler Shadow began at Toluca Car Assembly. The Shadow/Sundance was also sold in Europe from 1988 to 1991 as the Chrysler ES. Production ended on March 9, 1994, with the Shadow/Sundance being replaced by the Dodge / Plymouth Neon.
The Neon is a compact car built by Chrysler from the 1995 to 2005 model years. Taking its name from the inert gas, the model line was marketed by Dodge and Plymouth; in Europe, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Egypt, Australia, South Africa, and South America, the Neon was branded as a Chrysler (from 2001 to 2003, also in Canada). The model line was the first compact car to become profitable for an American automaker. The Neon used the front-wheel drive Chrysler PL platform, which replaced three sets of vehicles: the Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon (retired in 1990), the Dodge Shadow/Plymouth Sundance, and the Mitsubishi-sourced Dodge/Plymouth Colt (Eagle did not sell the Neon to replace the Summit). For the Mexican and the Middle Eastern market, the Dodge Neon nameplate returned from 2016 to 2020 as a rebranded version of the Fiat Tipo sedan for the Mexican and the Middle Eastern market. During its original production, Chrysler assembled the Neon in its Belvidere Assembly (Belvidere, Illinois) and Toluca Car Assembly (Toluca, Mexico State) facilities.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
