## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

Los Angeles Assembly was an American Ford Motor Company assembly plant located at 8820 Washington Boulevard and Rosemead Boulevard, in Pico Rivera, southeastern Los Angeles County, California.


== Ford plant ==
Known as Los Angeles Plant #2, the Pico Rivera facility started operations in early August 1957 with the production of 1958 Edsel Corsair and Citation hardtop models. Due to the paint booths not being ready, early Edsel bodies were welded together at the new Los Angeles #2 plant and then trucked to the old Maywood, Los Angeles #1 plant where they could be painted. The bodies were then trucked back to Pico Rivera where they were trimmed out and assembled.
