Chrysler's Belvedere, Illinois plant assembled the K-cars.
I supplied coal to this business for a number of years and got to see the little autos come off the assembly line at the rate of one every 50 seconds.

Later, they made the minivan, based on the K-car.

The Mini-Van was, in my opinion, Iococca’s crowning achievement. He basically created something entirely new. The Mustang-Pony Car concept was “out there” and I think would have happened elsewhere — by 1966 at least.
