I toured the Rouge plant when I was a kid, it was one of several standard field trips along with Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum. If you look at a map of Dearborn, half of the land belongs to FMC. World HQ, Ford div. HQ, Mercury HQ (When they were around), plus Fairlane, Henry's private estate. The Rouge assembly line was where the Mustang was born, the Wixom plant was where the T-Bird and Lincoln came from.
Ford had a falling out with the city of Detroit, and never had a plant there.
