Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep®, announced in December that it would close its Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois, which employs 1,350 workers. Despite efforts from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker to convince Stellantis to turn the plant into an electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing center, nothing has materialized so far.

On Tuesday, the Stellantis Belvidere Assembly Plant made history when it produced its last 2023 Jeep® Cherokee (KL). The end of production marked almost 60 years of vehicle production, with the first car rolling off the assembly line on July 7th, 1965. Over the years, the facility had produced a whopping 11,714,918 vehicles.

I forgot that Neons were built there.

In that case, you can add the 1998 and the 2000 Neons that we had too.
