In the early 1920s, Ford Motor Company established a sawmill, a lumber processing plant, and a factory near the city of Iron Mountain in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Wood parts built at the Iron Mountain plant were shipped out to Ford suppliers who used them to assemble Model T, Model A, and early Ford V-8 bodies. After Ford adopted all-steel sedan bodies in 1937, Iron Mountain built wood station wagon bodies through 1951.
