Celebrating a Century of American-made Cars

The Chicago Assembly Plant‘s 100-year journey is a remarkable story of innovation and impact in the automotive world. Since acquiring the land in 1920 and shifting Model T production in 1924, the plant has been central to Ford Motor Company’s evolution.

During World War II, the plant produced 6,000 armored vehicles and broke new ground by employing women on its assembly lines. The mid-twentieth century saw the production of iconic models like the Galaxie and Thunderbird, solidifying the plant’s role in automotive history.

A major milestone came in 1986 with the start of Taurus production. Over 4.2 million Tauruses were assembled at the plant until the final model rolled off the line in 2019. Today, with artificial intelligence enhancing its operations, the Chicago Assembly Plant continues to drive forward its legacy of excellence and innovation.
