Original 1925 Ford Motor Company promotional postcard featuring an elevated panoramic view of the historic Highland Park Plant in the Detroit, Michigan area.
The printed reverse describes the facility as Ford’s parent plant and states that it employed 50,000 men and produced parts for 8,000 automobiles per day. It also commemorates two important Model T milestones: the first Model T produced on October 1, 1908, and the ten-millionth car leaving the assembly line on June 4, 1924.
Additional printed information states that the plant covered 278 acres, with approximately 105 acres under roof. Copyright 1925 by the Ford Motor Company.
A desirable piece of early automotive, Model T, Detroit-area industrial, factory, and Ford Motor Company history. The postcard is unused and has not been mailed.
