Detailed history of the Lorain Assembly plant December 21, 2005, 10:34:01 AM Just in case Eric missed this one, here's a little Christmas present for everyone. :)The MN12 cousins sold consistantly throughout their Lorain run, outselling every car in their segment by at least a two-to-one margin. This wasn't enough to save the car. When the last one rolled off the line in September 1997, a sign saying "That's All Folks" adorned the decklid. Today, over eight years later, devoted Thunderbird/Cougar fans still seek out their favorite models, some looking for daily drivers, others looking to preserve history.http://www.blueovalnews.com/index.php?categoryid=10&p2_articleid=54&s=& Quote Selected

Detailed history of the Lorain Assembly plant Reply #3 – December 21, 2005, 04:13:57 PM Interesting article but with some mistakes... Especially about the Talladegas, they were all built in Atlanta(the lone exception is Bunkie Knutson's(then pres of Ford) that Lorain ran off two months after Atlanta had stopped production on the Big T. What should have been included is mention of the '69 Cyclone Spoiler II(the Merc long nose sister to the Big T), Lorain DID prodouce all of those... Quote Selected
