    thanks for the clarification, one of the mustang books I have mentions Nj and Ca assembly but there are lots of errors in the book.

    I would have to look up the actual dates when the two other plants were shut down, but yes, originally the Mustangs were produced at San Jose, Metuchen, and DAP.

    Couldn't figure out how to edit my previous post...

    San Jose closed in 1984, Metuchen (Edison) closed in 2004, and DAP was shut down more recently, but after Mustang production had already moved to Flat Rock.
