Ford Cars is a ubiquitous multinational corporation that proudly enjoys the honor of being the third largest automaker in the world. Ford Cars was founded by Henry Ford in the year 1903 and it is based at Dearborn, Michigan, USA. In the year 2007, Ford Cars was the third largest automaker in the USA in terms of sales. In the very same period, Ford Cars produced more then 6.553 automobiles and employed a gargantuan work force of almost 245,000 employees the world over. Ford Cars Company also holds the prestigious honour of receiving more quality survey awards as compared to any other automobile manufacturer.
The founding father of Ford Cars i.e. Henry Ford was the person who was fundamentally responsible for democratizing the car market all over the world by introducing the assembly line based manufacturing procedures that later on became famous as Fordism. Since then, the Ford Cars have been a brand to reckon with in the world of automobiles and automotive parts.
Initially most of the business of Ford Cars came from within the USA. As expected, Ford Cars managed to sell a lot of vehicles in the booming American economy. However, considering the recent economic developments like acute recessionary trends and rising fuel prices have forced the Ford Cars to reorganize its business strategies within the US.
Considering the international markets, initially most of the automobiles sold by the Fords Cars in the Europe were essentially more or less the exact versions of the models that sold well in the home terrain. However, the recent trend signified by evolution of niche markets segments in Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, Africa and Middle East has immensely stimulated the Ford Cars to adapt its products to the preferences of the local customers.
It will be really interesting to talk about a few top notch Ford Cars. Ford T is not only the second best selling car in the world till date but this celebrated Ford car commands many other attributes also. Infact it happened to be the first car churned out by much talked about assembly line manufacturing that not only reduced the average price per car but also simplified the car market.
The Ford Escort came into the market in 1967 and immediately became popular as a family car. However, within a year of its introduction, this Ford Car turned out to be one of the best selling cars not only in the US but also across the Atlantic. Ford Cars continued to build upon the success of this model by introducing estates, vans, four door saloons and a host of other features. However the immense customer enthusiasm for this car veined out by 2003, when its manufacturing was halted by Ford Cars.
The Ford F Series really proved to be the Ford Cars biggest success ever. Basically being a pick up truck, Ford F Series continued to be the best selling vehicle in the US for more then 23 years. This model aimed at achieving the comfort of a car while maintaing the ruggedness of a pick up vehicle.
