Having worked in an auto factory for five years (an engine plant), I can assure you you will not get a chance like this to see a plant at work. Even those of us here in Detroit, with friends and family in the auto industry, plants hardly ever open up for tours. I have heard nothing but good things about this tour. As with all things The Henry Ford does, it's first class.
Love is the law, love under will.
