Ford Chicago Assembly Plant celebrates 100th anniversary

Techstination feature for Thursday, August 15, 2024

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.    This month Ford is celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of its Chicago Assembly Plant.    It has been a century since the plant’s first Model Ts rolled off the line and Ford Heritage Brand Manager Ted Ryan says it has continuously operated ever since..

“In the lifetime, in the hundred years since, they’ve built over fifteen million vehicles in Chicago.”  That’s from the Model T on up to, what’s it doing today? “Today it is actually doing the all new Explorer, the Aviator and the Police Interceptor.  The Police Interceptor’s an interesting one.  So basically it’s an Explorer, but then, it’s sent to an upfitter.”
