At Chuck Anderson Ford, we believe that every great Ford vehicle starts with the people who build it — and here in Missouri, we are proud to say some of the best are built by our neighbors, friends, and family at the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant in Claycomo.
To every member of UAW Local 249, we want to say thank you — for your craftsmanship, dedication, and pride in building two of America’s most trusted vehicles: the Ford F-150 and the Ford Transit.
Your hard work keeps the heart of American manufacturing strong — and your commitment to excellence helps make Ford the name that millions of drivers trust every day.

Built by Our Neighbors, Driven by Our Community
The Ford F-150 is America’s best-selling truck — but here in Missouri, it’s more than that. It’s a source of local pride. Every F-150 that rolls off the line in Claycomo represents the skill, dedication, and teamwork of thousands of UAW Local 249 members who build them with precision and pride.
Likewise, the Ford Transit, trusted by businesses and families across the country, is crafted right here by the same hardworking men and women who keep the Ford legacy alive.
When you buy a Ford F-150 or Transit from Chuck Anderson Ford, you’re not just supporting our dealership — you’re supporting local Missouri workers who put their heart and expertise into every single vehicle.
A Legacy of Excellence in Claycomo
The Kansas City Assembly Plant in Claycomo has been part of the Ford story since 1951. Over the decades, it has produced some of Ford’s most iconic vehicles — from the Fairlane and Maverick to today’s advanced, high-performance F-150 and Transit.
Today, it’s one of Ford’s most productive and advanced facilities in North America, employing over 7,000 UAW-represented workers. These men and women are more than assembly line workers — they are engineers of durability, builders of dependability, and the backbone of Ford’s success in the Midwest.
Every truck and van built in Claycomo carries a piece of our community’s legacy — built right here in Missouri, driven across America.
The People Behind the Strength
At Chuck Anderson Ford, we see firsthand the pride that goes into every F-150 and Transit. When our customers come in to buy or service their Ford, they often share stories of friends or family who work at the Claycomo plant.
That connection reminds us that Ford isn’t just a brand — it’s a family. The UAW Local 249 members don’t just build vehicles; they build confidence, quality, and trust that lasts for generations.
From early morning shifts to late-night hours, their craftsmanship and attention to detail ensure that every Ford vehicle stands up to the toughest challenges — whether that’s towing a trailer, hauling a work crew, or driving kids to school.
We’re proud to sell the trucks and vans they build — because we know they’re built with pride, precision, and purpose.
UAW Local 249: The Heart of Ford’s Midwest Operations
The United Auto Workers Local 249 has long stood as a symbol of unity, fairness, and strength in Missouri’s labor community. Its members represent the best of what American manufacturing stands for — integrity, teamwork, and a shared commitment to quality.
Their work doesn’t just power Ford — it powers our local economy. The wages earned, the families supported, and the pride carried home each day help make Clay County and Excelsior Springs stronger communities.
We at Chuck Anderson Ford share that same spirit of integrity and community — and we’re honored to stand alongside our UAW neighbors as partners in Ford’s ongoing success story.
A Shared Mission: Building for the Future
As Ford continues to lead the way in innovation — from hybrid F-150s to electric Transits — the skill and dedication of our local UAW workers remain at the center of it all.
The 2025 and 2026 models rolling off the Claycomo line feature cutting-edge technology, advanced materials, and a commitment to quality that sets Ford apart. And that’s no accident — it’s the result of generations of skilled workers who take pride in their craft.
Together, UAW Local 249 and Chuck Anderson Ford share a common mission: to keep Missouri at the forefront of American automotive excellence.
