The Livonia Plant was built by the Ford Motor Company in 1952 to produce M48 Tanks for the U.S. Army Ordnance Department. About 1,000 tanks were produced under the contract. After the last tank rolled off the line, the plant was converted to make the Mutt military vehicle, and changed later in 1953 to start production of automatic and manual transmissions.
The Livonia Transmission plant sits on 182 acres and totals 3.3 million square-feet, making it the largest transmission plant in North America.
