There has been a lot of discussion on the Twin Cities Public Television production of Made In Saint Paul - Stories From the Ford Plant on other sites. Here is the link to watch the 57 minute production. Some great old videos and history here. Enjoy. I know I did--- https://www.tpt.org/minnesota-experience/video/made-in-st-paul-b4ojxa/

Thanks, Bruce! That was good! A bit different than is expected from this type of production.

Thanks for posting the link to this video, I enjoyed it also. There is a book titled, "The Ford Century in Minnesota" by Brian McMahon that tells the same story in much more detail. I read it a couple of years ago and then was able to visit the site during a visit to the Twin Cities. It is a wide open space now, but the documentary does a wonderful job of showing where the plant was located on the large parcel of land.

I just found an updated edition of "The FORD Chronicle" at a local book store. I have the original which covers the first years thru 1993. The new edition goes thru 2003. It is a treasure for anyone who loves Fords, old and new. I paid $20 for the very large book full of information and photos of Ford cars, trucks, and tractors.
