Ford Plant Will Start Making Small Cars in 2010

The Michigan Truck Plant, long the birthplace of the Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs, produced their last truck style vehicle today. The plant will now be shut down and retooled to build small, fuel-efficient C-Cars like the Ford Focus starting in 2010. The retooling will cost around $75 million.
Since opening over 50 years ago, the plant has built the iconic F-Series trucks and the Ford Bronco. The smaller cars coming in two years aren’t as iconic, but should improve the bottom line considerably. Ford will still make large vehicles at its Kentucky plant.
