Artifact Overview
Sales staff had their own reserved parking spots outside the Administration Building at Ford Motor Company's Rouge plant, as seen in this photograph from January 1948. Presumably, most salespeople only visited the building for brief periods of time, so close and convenient parking was appreciated.
