DETROIT- Claud Dennis Dent has been through everything the automotive industry has to offer – from the post-WWII boom of the automobile to its darkest days in the late-2000s.
The 81-year-old Chrysler plant worker has spent more than 50 years building vehicles for the Auburn Hills-based automaker, and on Tuesday he was able to celebrate the 5 millionth vehicle produced at Jefferson North Assembly Plant, where he has spent the past 21 years.
“It feels great because I came in as a young kid and it has made a wonderful difference for me,” he told MLive following the debut of a vehicle, a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. “I am very proud to be a part of it.”
