Default Re: Ford's Texas Assembly Plants...

The Model T plant in Dallas is now nice loft apartments. Adam Hats. Have had friends live there. Model T assembly from 1914 - 1925. After 1925, this location became a secondary location, warehouse and Ford show room until 1955







The newer assembly plant that assembled Model A Fords in dallas was at 5200 E. Grand Avenue. The last vehicle rolled off the assembly line there on February 27, 1970. It was a Ford F-100 pickup.

This location is now a warehouse and a recycling plant.

The plant has grown now. The corner of the building in the above photo is about where the words "Texas Recycling" in this aerial photo below.





In the 1950s, the ford plant stuck these stickers on the Ford cars that came out of this facility.
