Ford Cars outside the Piquette Avenue Plant, Detroit, Michigan, circa 1906
01
Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company outgrew its original Mack Avenue Plant within 18 months. In late 1904-early 1905 the automaker moved to a much larger facility on Piquette Avenue, in Detroit's Milwaukee Junction area. It was here that Henry Ford developed and first manufactured the Model T. That car's runaway success prompted Ford to relocate again, to Highland Park, in 1910.
