Where is the Ford plant in Illinois?
I’ve lived in Illinois my entire life, but I didn’t realize that Ford had a major manufacturing plant in the state. I also live in Southern Illinois, so I haven’t heard about anybody working there and I’m not sure where it is. Where is Ford’s Illinois plant?

It’s great that you’re checking the facts! The Ford plant in Illinois, known as the Chicago Assembly, is located at 12600 S. Torrance Avenue in the Hegewisch neighborhood of Chicago. Built in 1924, it’s the oldest continuously running car manufacturing plant in North America**.
While it’s been used to build numerous modern cars, the Model T, and even armored vehicles during WWII, the Chicago Assembly currently only builds the sixth-generation Ford Explorer and the second-generation Lincoln Aviator. But with a recent upgrade of over $1 billion in 2019 and 4,100 workers, it’s one of the main manufacturing plants for the Detroit-based company.
