No, Ford doesn't have any assembly places in Tulsa. I think that particular facility is a contractor that supplies Ford with fuel lines. The outfits in Nebraska were in Scottsbluff, out in the panhandle. The potato chip place is defunct and the sugar beet factory was owned by GW, under different ownership now (I don't know for sure who). I work in OKC and that's ALL I can say without being too specific (look on the i-net).

 

Oh, I thought one time I ran throught there, and saw a plant with a Ford sign on it...Must have been another place.

 

It may well have the Ford oval, seems like I remember seeing a place in Dallas that supplies mufflers with an oval. The only automobile assembly plant in the state is GM, in SE OKC, but the Ditch Witch factory is in Perry. There are a few tire factories here though: Goodyear, in Lawton, Dayton, the union-busting-unsafe-workplace-communist-Chinese-owned bunch is in OKC and Uniroyal/Michelin has a big plant in Ardmore. There used to be a place in Mangum that made aircraft tires and retreads.
