HISTORY
âEleven years after the Model-T was produced two blocks away on Piquette street, the Fisher Body Company built our plant in Detroitâs Milwaukee Junction in 1919. This area was the heart of the Cityâs automotive industry and the hub of autobody and stamping plants. Born as Fisher Body #37, the factory produced body sides for Chevrolet, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Chrysler, and Ford. The plant was full of 20-foot presses stamping out these world renown automobile bodies.â
âFor the next 50-years, the plant continued to produce large body side stampings for various GM brands and models. Building #37 may not have a glamourous title but the contribution to this Industry, Michigan and the United States is amazing. Millions of automotive components came from olâ âPlant #37â and its legacy lives on today.â
