Re: Fords old Brisbane plant; any information?

Around 1987 Brisbane plant (Eagle Farm) stopped building the ZL Fairlane and LTD series. VIN Prefix was JH. The NA Fairlane and DA LTD were moved back to Broadmeadows plant 1 alongside the EA Falcon series. Broadmeadows plant 1 VIN prefix was JG.
Brisbane plant was repurposed to build the Louisville and F150 Ute plus the F250 ambulance. Plant manager was Tony Simpson.
I believe the Louisville was built in plant 2 at Broadmeadows (VIN prefix JL) prior to Brisbane, Eagle Farm.
Please correct me if I got anything wrong.
Eagle Farm was also the base for dealer technical staff training in QLD and Northern NSW.
The architecture of the offices of the Ford plants were very similar through Australia and NZ.
