Default Ford's Memphis Assembly Plant

Does anyone have a copy of the Memphis Assembly Plant taken in the 1920's-1930's preferably from the air?

It is a single story complex.

Thanks.

For what it's worth Pluck I recently posted a pic on facebook of the Seattle plant taken in 1928.

Steve: I can share a photo of a four story building that according to the Memphis newspaper was the second location of the former FMC assy plant. Info also states this building was demo'd in 2012. Email me, and I will discuss some other interesting info re. Memphis Plant with you. Jim...

Larry...I will sure try. I'm not much for cutting, pasting and all. Perhaps Don Bader can do it for me.

I'm not good with computers and so far see no need to sign up for Facebook.
Maybe if it helps me find old friends and classmates, I'll look into it.

GOT IT! Was sent to me from an orginization in Memphis.

However it is an airial photo from 1940 but still the photo I want as there were no changes to it from 1928 to 1940 it looks like.

There are images on google image. I don't know how to paste them here. I remember the plant and had been inside when it had a truck parts distributor as its last tenant. There were two plants in Memphis. I am guessing you are referring to the single story plant at the river (now McKeller Lake).

Yes, that was the plant where the Model A/AA's were assembled.
