Many relatives on my dad's side worked for Ford in corporate and on the line. They abandoned Detroit after the riots.
Wife and I took a steamship ride from Two harbors, MN to the Ford Rouge plant some years ago.

We went to the re christening of the two Ford steamers when they were purchased by Interlake Steamship in Cleveland. That was quite an affair. Everyone received crystal glassware with the new names (the boats were renamed for the wives of Interlake’s president and chairman.)

Have a Ranger pickup and am really satisfied with it.
Last year bought an Expedition for doing traveling.
What a comfortable exquisite ride. Wife loves it and the really short turning radius.
