Add to SetSummary
After it opened in 1910, the Highland Park plant became the heart of Ford Motor Company where millions of Model T cars were built on moving assembly lines. But in 1927, when this photo was taken, the Model T was canceled in favor of the new Model A, and Ford's major operations shifted to the nearby Rouge plant.
