As a result of good sales in Atlanta, and a desire to decentralize production, Ford established a combined assembly, sales, service and administration facility on Ponce de Leon Avenue, selling a peak of 22,000 vehicles per year. The asssembly plant produced Model Ts, Model A's and V-8's intil 1942,w hen the plant was sold to the War Department and a new plant was opened in the Atlanta suburb of Hapeville.
The War Department used the building as a storage depot and as administrative offices. The building is presently occupied by apartments and retail shops.
