Plymouth was formerly the headquarters of the [[Plymouth Locomotive Works]], a builder of industrial [[railroad]] [[locomotive]]s. The factory closed in 1999. The company designed and built an [[automobile]] named Plymouth in the early part of the century, but it was not mass-produced, but there were [[truck]]s and [[tractor]]s produced by Commercial Motor Truck Company under the Plymouth name in the same period.<ref>The Model G truck had 50 horsepower, friction transmission, dual chain drive, 1000-6000 lb payload or 9-20 seats.

A court battle ensued over the ownership of the name Plymouth, which Chrysler lost when it was determined the original Plymouth car preceded Chrysler's by several years.
