Ford Motor Co. is taking a drive down the road in a couple of months.

The venerable car maker is moving its headquarters for the first time in seven decades, relocating to a newly constructed building three miles (five kilometres) away in its longtime home of Dearborn, Mich.

The new 2.1-million-square-foot (195,096-square metre) structure formally will be called "Ford World Headquarters" when it opens in November. It is part of a larger campus that will take the name of the current HQ: Henry Ford II World Center. Henry Ford II was the grandson of company founder Henry Ford and the uncle of Bill Ford, the automaker's current executive chairman.
