Ford Car History


Ford car is one of the best car in the world.It bulid race cars and normal cars too.They have many car.It was build in 1903.Ford car was build by Henry Ford.Early Ford motor vehicles were allocated a letter with model A fords being produced in 1903. Two of these cars were shown at a Motor show in London that same year and this inspired the creation of a sales agency in Long Acre, London. Cars were being produced in Detroit at a rate of only a few a day. By 1908 they were producing the Model S which was superseded by the well known Model T. In 1909 around 18000 model T fords were produced.
Henry Ford was a committed pacifist who spoke out against the First World War. He was instrumental in chartering a ship to sail to Europe with a group of prominent peace supporters in order to hold a conference with European leaders in the hope of stopping the war. The mission failed miserably but did result in Henry Ford's focus shifting from being totally concerned with his business to the needs of the common man and, in particular, his workforce.
It was in 1919 that Edsel Ford took over from his father. At this time Ford's competitors were coming up with new features for their vehicles in response to consumer demand. This led to Ford losing market share to General Motors and Chrysler. These competitors had opened new markets by introducing credit agreements for customers enabling them to buy vehicles by making regular monthly payments. Ford initially resisted this approach to sales but they eventually started to offer the same purchase arrangements in 1927.
Since the 1960's the Ford motor company have continued to innovate and deliver vehicles to the marketplace that meet the needs and demands of the users. Their commercial vehicles are highly regarded around the world and their famous Ford Transit, first introduced in 1965. This commercial workhorse has undergone several generations of redevelopment and numerous facelifts that have led to the Mark 7 Ford Transit which was awarded the International Van of the Year award in 2007.Now Ford car is runing high and maybe it will build more great car in future .And take more award.
