Beginning in 1922 and ending in 1925, production of the Buick (closed) body's made their way from this factory, #75, in Detroit. They made the 57 mile one way trip over the famed Dixie Highway (originally the "Dixie Trail"). This was the old Scripps-Booth factory. This factory was located at 9416 Ford avenue named for president of the Saxon Motor Car Corp. Harry Ford when it was built. After Durant sold his new factory on south Saginaw St. in Flint to Fisher Body, this plant was no longer used for that purpose. This view is facing north-west from Ford Avenue, called Ford street now. The factory was on the corner of Wyoming St. and Ford ave. |
