About the author
Founded in 1903, Ford Motor Company is an American automaker based in Dearborn, Michigan. The company is closely tied to Henry Ford, whose work on assembly-line production helped make cars cheaper and faster to build, changing transportation and factory work around the world.
Over the decades, Ford became known for landmark vehicles such as the Model T and for building a broad lineup of cars, trucks, and commercial vehicles. It also sells luxury vehicles under the Lincoln brand, and in recent years it has continued to invest in new technology, software, and electric vehicles while drawing on more than a century of manufacturing history.
Ford’s history is big, practical, and deeply woven into everyday life: roads, suburbs, freight, and the idea that personal transportation could be made for the masses rather than the few. That combination of industrial ambition and cultural impact is why the company remains such a central name in automotive history.
