Ford Reviews
The iconic American car manufacturer has been at the forefront of automotive innovation since the first Model A rolled off founder Henry Ford's assembly line in 1903. Although the wooden wheels and hand-cranked engines of early models have now been replaced by futuristic flex fuel and hybrid technologies, the Detroit auto giant continues to operate on the same basic tenets—commitment to quality, dedication to design improvement—that made the fledgling Ford Motor Company a success over a century ago. |
