In 1955, Ford Motor Company opened the Louisville Assembly
Plant, initiating a big boost to Louisville’s economy. The
automobile manufacturing plant is 3,154,173 square-feet, sits
on 400 acres and employs over 2,000 people. It is located on
the south side of Louisville, adjacent to the Louisville
International Airport. Ford vehicles currently assembled here
include the Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac and the
Mercury Mountaineer.
With the success and sustainability of the first assembly plant,
Ford opened a second plant in 1969 – the Ford Motor
Kentucky Truck Plant. This plant is located on 500 acres in
the northeast corner of Louisville and is 4,626,490 square feet. The truck plant employs over 5,000
people and boasts an hourly average vehicle output of 75! Some of Ford’s most well known trucks
are manufactured here, including their Super Duty Line, F-250 to F-550, as well as the Ford
Expedition and the Lincoln Navigator.
