Making 1 million of anything is quite an achievement. But 1 million Jeeps is truly special.
It
happened Friday at Chrysler Group's Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio. As
soon as the 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 10th Anniversary Edition rolled
off the line, there was a big celebration.
Symbolizing the
cooperation that made it happen, the black Jeep was driven by a Chrysler
Group vice president, Mauro Pino, and the United Auto Worker's Jeep
Unit chairman, Local 12, Dan Henneman.
After all, the Jeep
Wrangler is a symbol of America. Its forerunner having played a crucial
role in winning World War II, today's Wrangler stands for blazing new
trails and rugged American know-how. It's a product of the heartland.
"Every
Jeep Wrangler sold to customers around the world is born in Toledo,
Ohio," says Pino. "Since this facility opened eight years ago, the
Toledo workforce has built every one of those million vehicles with
pride, passion and a focus on quality. We all look forward to building
the next million."
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 10th Anniversary
Edition -- the name is almost longer than the vehicle -- is aimed
directly as off-roaders with features like steel winch-capable bumpers
with removable end caps, additional ground clearance, new rock rails and
off-road tires.
