Not sure if they're still having tours, but I've been through the St Thomas, Ont Crown Vic/Marquis plant twice.

HI 1ruralmailman! I know there were tours of the plant down near Norfolk, VA but I'm not sure if they still have them. A few years ago I went to the Oakville, Ont plant & saw the 2002 F150's on their 1st production day! I think that plant closed but I'm looking into that - if it's still open I'm HOPING to arrange a tour.
Stop by the NY Chapter forum & join it - it's free! We're planning different events for the summer & will have our 1st meeting this weekend in Buffalo & Rochester. We'd love to have you join! Do you offroad? We're going to PA for that too! See you in the Chapter forum!
