Probably Ford's Dearborn plant. Spring Hill is pretty complete, but I don't think AS complete as Ford's.

The factories that did that were generally built before the companies all merged together, but by now most of them are gone...Dodge Main, Buick City, Chevrolet Manufacturing.

Personally I think its a better way than to have all the components built all around the country, then shipped to one location. It sounds more efficient.

We don't really know how they're setting up Spring Hill, so it may be more of a "used to be" as well (unless you know something I don't).

Building stuff at the plant sounds more efficient, until the exact same engine or whatnot is needed in cars built in five different plants across the country, in which case economies of scale can play in favor of a centralized assembly plant for major components. :)

I guess Spring Hill is more of a "used to be" now.
