Desert Driver Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Ground floor would probably be too dirty and dusty. Upper floors would dictate more TLC when moving bodies downstairs. So my guess is the 2nd floor. Unfortunately not enough cars were assembled to meet dealer demand regardless of where they were built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thoughts, however, Avantis were not assembled on the second floor of building 48A (Actually, the second floor was used for Studebaker truck production) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Driver Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 I'll just take a wild guess...the third floor. Fewer pigeons than the fourth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps on final assembly...but they were apparently glued together on the third floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
