Richmond, CA Ford Plant

Post by An Old BC » Fri Aug 04, 2017 12:36 pm

For those of you with GPWs manufactured in Richmond, I found this interesting site which has photos of the factory. Obviously taken in the seventies or eighties, it was before the plant became the Rosie The Riveter Museum. I enjoyed the photos of the "crating sheds".

Anyone have any interesting photos of or in that plant taken during WW2?
