Ford's Texas Assembly Plants...
Using Google Maps, can someone in Texas in and or around Dallas and Houston, please point out Ford's Assembly Plants that are, or were, in each of those cities?
Address if possible. Thanks. Pluck |

Here is the Google map. Looks like the building is gone. https://www.google.com/maps/place/52...!4d-96.7490574

And this for Houston. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ford_factories
Google map https://www.google.com/maps/place/39...9!4d-95.335945 looks like the red brick portion could be original

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. https://goo.gl/maps/2EJJ7wZWZqD2 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.

Hope that makes sense. You can probably also past the screen capture in Word and do the same thing.

Re: Ford's Texas Assembly Plants...
Yes, Thanks...I figured it out.
Now the next question...As one sees the plant from the air on Google Maps...Is there a way to angle the photo from the air view to get a better shot rather than just a roof top photo? Pluck |
