Thanks, GW. I couldn't think of a good reason for a Dodge to be in a GM factory. I assume the photo was probably taken at the Chrysler plant in Commerce which operated between 1932 and 1971. There's a good article about the Commerce site on allpar.com. Here's how that factory looked in 1953.

And how the site looks today.

This picture is another one from the USC set. It's far more plausible that this Pontiac was being built in the GM plant at South Gate.
