The Highland Park Ford Plant is a former Ford Motor Company factory at 91 Manchester Street in Highland Park, Michigan. It was Ford's third factory and the second facility built for Model T production, but it is best known as the first factory in history to assemble automobiles on a moving assembly line, and it became a National Historic Landmark in 1978.
