Wixom Assembly Plant

[1] Wixom opened April 15, 1957, replacing the former Lincoln Motor Company Plant at 6200 West Warren Avenue (at Livernois).

Due to Lincoln's falling sales, Ford announced on January 23, 2006, it would sell the Wixom plant in 2007 as part of its The Way Forward.

A report in The Oakland Press said "the fate of the Wixom plant, however, will depend on the shape of Ford's future product plan, which seems to be currently in flux."

Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm reportedly offered $115 million in tax cuts to keep the plant open.

The next year the Baidas family, owners and operators of General RV Center, sought and were awarded[9] mixed use zoning permits in an area nearby of the Wixom property.
