The rise of the FORD Motor Company began in 1903 when Henry Ford entered into the world of car manufacturing after having spent his younger years working as an engineer. The expertise he gained was used to good effect as he established a company that has risen to great heights as a quality producer of reliable cars. Henry Ford was a man of vision and an industrious man who encouraged his employees to adopt the same spirit of enterprise he demonstrated in his own life.
Twenty five years after establishing his company, Ford had become the largest distributor of automobiles in the United States with emphasis on the famous Model T Ford. Henry Ford was without doubt one of the pioneers in the automobile industry and this explains to some degree why his company has grown into one of the major car distributors of the twentieth century and shows no signs of slowing down as we enter the twenty-first.
A gorgeous panoramic view opens up to me as I take the bend in the road and see mountains on either side with the shadow of the clouds scattered around them as I drive one of Scotland's highways on a bright Saturday afternoon. Today, it is a real pleasure to sit in my red Ford Mondeo. The car I drive is just one in a long line of vehicles produced by the Ford Motor Company, a business that has an established and honored place in the automotive industry. Established by a very intelligent and hard-working man named Henry Ford, the company, like any other, had small beginnings and grew in stature by producing quality vehicles as the number of motorists increased.
The Model T Ford has secured a position as a major production in the automobile world and though it has been a very long time since the last one was produced, the company have moved on to become a major player in the industry. A nostalgic look into the past reminds us of the numerous car models produced by the Ford company, cars that hold special memories for those who owned them. The Model T, the Ford Zephyr, the Cortina and the current Mondeo are just a few of the models that have graced the driveways of millions of people over the years. The past century has seen steady growth from the Ford company and the company continues to be a force as a purveyor of cars and as sponsors of the Champions League which serves to keep them in the limelight.
The company owes much to Henry Ford who was a man with a vision, a man who was wise enough to understand how he could make his company successful. A hard working man who was progressive in his thinking built the company into a worldwide force and to this day, Ford is the car of choice for millions of car drivers. The fact that Henry Ford was himself an engineer meant he could approach the business of building cars with confidence. Having worked in engineering as a young man, he eventually took the reins of his own company and formed a business that was highly successful. Even though he had a few disappointments in his attempts to build his business, eventually he put everything in order to find success.
Ford became extremely successful early on to the point where the majority of cars driven in the USA were built by the Ford company. With the rise of other quality car manufacturers, Ford had to deal with some stiff opposition but have managed to maintain a high level of sales and much of this is due to the standards and principles instituted by Henry Ford. Ford cars are still popular and one of the reasons is that they are quality cars that are less expensive to maintain than some other models. The cost of replacing parts is a major consideration for car buyers and Ford offer one of the best deals on maintenance.
The fact that Ford has been able to stand the test of time, trading for over 100 years is testament to a company that is built on a solid foundation and that looks as though it will continue as a major car manufacturer. There are people who will always buy Ford, many of them having done so for decades. The reliability of the company is a strong reason for repeat customers to return seeking their next new model. While some car manufacturers have gone to the wall, Ford continues its steady rise in the automobile industry and is a constant in the eyes of many people seeking reliable and cost-effective motoring. 100 years may have passed since Henry Ford first set out his plan to mass produce quality cars, but the passage of time has not diminished the power of the company and the rapport they have with countless loyal motorists.
