In which Michigan city did Henry Ford watch the 15 millionth Model T leave the line?

Henry Ford watched the 15 millionth Model T leave the line in Highland Park, Michigan.

The milestone occurred on May 26, 1927, at Ford’s Highland Park plant. The event marked the end of Model T production and celebrated a vehicle that had transformed automobile manufacturing and ownership.

The Model T was first built at Ford’s Piquette Avenue Plant in Detroit in 1908, but demand soon outgrew that facility. Ford shifted much of its production to Highland Park, where the moving assembly line helped make the car faster and cheaper to build.

A common mix-up is Dearborn, which became closely associated with Ford through later facilities and the company’s headquarters. The 15 millionth Model T, however, rolled out at Highland Park.
