Jacksonville, FL is one of the biggest American ports of entry for vehicles (and based on the eastbound vehicle carriers I see on I-10, they ship out a lot of vehicles too) The port has a nice little video of their services including a few 'acres and acres of cars' shots:
I am referring to the former McClouth steel plant and property. All three makers rent space there at times, or used to before the tax foreclosure a few months ago. Cars would appear there, then disappear, then others would appear. Little side note, parts of the avengers was filmed there as well, also part of one of the Transformer movies. For one movie, they blew something up, on a Sunday. Without permission. Sent my wife into a panic and kinda ticked off Trenton government. I have never seen cars stored around Trenton Engine. I drive past it several times a day. Do they have any space left there since the expansion?
I don't know if they have any room left, I know that will ship their cars anywhere that's has allot of room and is secure. Cars and trucks don't stay that long they are rotated like produce is at your local market.
Here's a news story from 2015 about car imports to the port of Philadelphia. How they are moved to various lots and processed before being sent to dealers.
When I worked at Chrysler's Warren truck assembly plant in the early 80's they were making 55 trucks a hour on 2 shifts, they would empty the final assembly yard on every shift that's 440 trucks a 8 hour shift and many times we worked 12 hour shifts. The big 3 are very good at moving their vehicles from one place to another they can track any vehicle they make and tell we're that vehicle is by the vin number, their warehouse management systems are the best in the world to keep track of everything needed to make a vehicle from the steel to the tires they know what they have on hand and when to order more for every plant they have.
