Archival papers of the noted industrial architect Albert Kahn (housed at the Bentley Historical Library, University of Michigan) indicate that in 1934 Kahn's office prepared drawings for architectural work at Norfolk Assembly. Norfolk Assembly produced models including the Model T, Model A and school bus chassis. The last model manufactured at the plant was the F150. (en)
