    Pickups were built in Oakville, where the Canadian Ford headquarters are.
    Now they build the Flex, and the Edge, and whatever they cross over to in Lincoln.

    I already have some of the Maverick start-up paperwork. Even some blue prints of the assembly line. These came form another source, years ago.

    The Excursion and truck in my signature were built at KTP (Kentucky Truck Plant) in Louisville, KY. I got to watch the truck be assembled. My Maverick and the Crown Vic were built in Talbotsville, Ontario at St. Thomas Assembly. It will be closed on September 16.

    Videos are starting to emerge, of the last cars (Crown Vics) rolling off the Assembly Line at St. Thomas, after the closing of the plant this month. I've never seen video from inside the same plant, where the Mavericks were first made.

    Here are a couple of cool ones:
