Westlie –
Truck Assembly Line – In May of 1927 the Ford Motor Company stopped
production of the Model T Truck to retool their plants for the new Model A. The
conversion was going to be a 2 year process. During that time, Westlie Motors
set up an assembly line on the top floor of its business here in Minot. The
parts were ordered directly from Ford Motor Company. Westlie Motors was the
only dealer in the country to do this. In the fall of 1927, 38 trucks rolled
off the assembly line. In 1928, 50 trucks
were assembled. When the Model A trucks came out in late 1928, the demand for
the Model T ceased as did Minot’s first and only automobile assembly line .
