Cute!

My goodness! I can't imagine an auto manufacturer allowing that these days!

They have a cow if you touch a car without all your PPE on.

I guess that would be The Rouge, in operation since 1928.

Brilliant proof that music videos didn't start with MTV

I knew of that video, but never saw it.
Yup, the Rouge. Making F150's nowadays.

It should be mentioned that visitors can tour The Rouge plant during working hours.

The tours are are administrated by and depart from the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn Michigan.

It's up in a mezzanine, looking down. A good tour, but not the same as being on the floor. If you're local, your library may have tickets that you can 'borrow'.

It's pretty sanitized, I imagine on account of the sheer number of civilians passing through.

I've mentioned this before, but I used to give the tours at Flint Assembly when I was an engineering student there. Basically a quick pass up and down the "Main Aisle" between the final lines (Line 1 = pickup; Line 2 = Blazer/Suburban).

People would stand and watch the body drop for as long as you would let them.

When I worked at the St Paul plant, the body drop was cool, but the front clip always amazed me, how quickly those guys steered the whole thing into place and dropped the core support on the bolts. It was bolted up and getting adjusted in like 10 seconds.
