That's really interesting. I knew that Ford had an integrated manufacturing system but I never knew that they even made their own glass.

That area is loaded with old storage caves as well, we used to explore them as kids back in the 70s and 80s.

Some of them have seemingly endless tunnels and still have all sorts of junk left in them.

There was one cave that had a room full of brand new (very old) toilets still in the crates back in the 70s but by the 80s they had been smashed to bits by cave explorers.

We used to have massive parties in one of the caves until the cops started using dogs to flush us out
