In 1927, Ford introduced the Model A and constructed which facility?

• A. River Rouge plant
• B. Highland Park plant
• C. Dearborn Plant
• D. Willow Run plant

Answer: (A)

Ford paired the 1927 launch of the Model A with using an expansive, integrated factory to streamline production. The River Rouge plant became the emblem of Ford’s vertical integration, bringing steel, glass, tires, and other components under one roof and enabling highly efficient, continuous manufacturing of the Model A. This facility’s scale and automated workflow showcased Ford’s push toward modern mass production. The other sites have different historical associations: the Highland Park plant is famously tied to early Model T production and the development of the moving assembly line; Willow Run was a later battlefield-era bomber plant; Dearborn Plant refers to Ford’s broader operations in Dearborn but isn’t the iconic integrated complex linked with the Model A’s introduction.
