I think it was in 2014 that Patty and I went to the Henry Ford Museum and went thru the Rouge where they are final assembled. That was very interesting. Got to follow the truck from frame till it was driven out the door.

The museum is in Dearborn Michigan. Probably half the distance from me to you.

They didn't allow pictures to be taken inside the Rouge for privacy of the workers.

Took us about 7 hours to drive. Stayed in a motel just down the street from the Museum.

It looks like a real big place that would need a week to see
