Does it even still have a lot of car manufacturers? Or any?

Yes, GM and Chrysler are still big employers in the city. Ford is still headquartered in nearby Dearborn.

Michigan has more automotive manufacturing facilities than any other state, nearly 1,000 if you count all the suppliers and distribution hubs. And despite Stellantis now being French-owned and abandoning their headquarters, Ford and GM are still present with many dozens of facilities as well as their respective HQs.

Next closest is Ohio with only 600.
