As of May 31st 2007, the Wixom Assembly Plant, located in Novi, Michigan, has been put to sleep so to say. The pausing of the 50 year-old plant is a direct consequence of Ford's Way Forward plan.
The last vehicle that rolled off the assembly line was a 2007 White Chocolate Lincoln Town Car set to be delivered to a dealership in Gaithersburg, Maryland. This does not mean that this was the last Town Car to be built. Production of the luxury sedan has been moved to St. Thomas Assembly Plant in Ontario.
The Wixom Assembly Plant is only one of 16 Ford facilities that will be temporarily shut down through the Way Forward program with the hopes of returning the company's North American automotive operations to profitability.
Throughout its 50 years of operation, the Wixom plant built 6,648,806 vehicles. They produced vehicles ranged from the 1958 Lincoln Continental to the 2004 Ford GT.
