The Car that change it all for Ford
 |
|
The Ford Motor Company certainly recognized the Image and Inspiration of Legends. It developed and refined many Greats; such as the "Thunderbird" and "Grand Marquis"... Yet one of the Leaders that captured the hearts of North Americans and beyond was, and still is: "The Mighty Mustang"! So now it was time forFord to have A MUSTANG "Ford Mustang" the stuff that Legends are made of, a Sporty little car with Inspiration started its life in 1962 as an idea and went into production in 1964 as a 1964 ½ model. It was a nice little car with a lot of Get Up and Go Power, Innovation and Luxury. However within a very short time it out grew that image until it became a large over blown mussel car of the 70’s. It stayed that way until 1973 when it was felt that the MUSTANG needed a complete overhaul and the car from that point on was never the same. |
A Brief History of Henry Ford
and the Ford Motor Car Company
|
That man was Henry Ford Henry Ford, born July 30, 1863. He grew up
on the family farm in what is today Dearborn, Michigan.
In 1879, Henry Ford left home at sixteen
for the nearby city of Detroit He was going to work as an apprentice machinist.
He worked at this for three years and then returned to Dearborn. Then for
the next few years years, he operated and repaired steam engines,
finding occasional work in a Detroit factory When time permitted, he over-hauled
his father's farm implements. In 1888 he married Clara Bryant.
In 1891, Ford he went to work for the Edison
Illuminating Company in Detroit as an engineer.
These experiments led to the completion of his own self-propelled vehicle the Quadricycle in 1896. Although Ford was not the first to build a self-propelled vehicle, he was, however, one of several automotive pioneers who helped this country become a nation of motorists. In 1899 Ford quit his job at Edison and
with the help of some investors, he started the Detroit Auto Company.
Ford moved back to his father's home in 1901.
He built a car on his own and with it beat Alexander Winton in automobile
race. This attracted more investors and enabled him to form the Henry Ford
Co.
