Ford Repair and Service at Wayne's Garage
Henry Ford at the age of thirty-two, completed his first experimental automobile. He dubbed his creation the "Quadricycle," so named because it ran on four bicycle tires. The success of the little vehicle fueled Ford's automobile ambitions, leading to the founding of Ford Motor Company in 1903. More Ford History |
 The Ford Escape Hybrid, launched in 2004 as a 2005 model, is a gasoline-electric hybrid developed by the Ford Motor Company. It was the first hybrid SUV to hit the market.

Probably the most famous car of all time is the Ford Model T (also known as the Tin Lizzie and Flivver).
It was produced by
Henry Ford's Ford Motor Company from 1908 through 1927.
Ford built 15,000,000 cars and trucks with the Model "T" engine. The only
other car to exceed that number was the Volkswagen Beetle.
The Ford Model T was named the world's most influential car of the twentieth
century in an international poll.
1908 Ford Model T
Henry Ford began his working life as a machinist, then became an engineer
with the Edison Illuminating Company. (He and Thomas Edison were close
friends for decades.)
Ford's first company was the Henry Ford Company on November 3, 1901, which
later became the Cadillac Motor Company August 22, 1902.
He then launched the Ford Motor Company in a converted factory in 1902 with
$31,000 in cash from twelve investors, most notably John and Horace Dodge,
who would later found the Dodge Brothers Motor Vehicle Company. The Ford
Motor Company would go on to become one of the largest and most profitable
companies in the world, as well as being one of the few to survive the Great
Depression.
Ford introduced the world's first moving assembly line in 1913 which reduced
chassis assembly time from 12½ hours in October to 2 hours 40 minutes and
boosted annual output to 202,667 units that year. After a Ford ad promised
profit-sharing if sales hit 300,000 between August 1914 and August 1915,
sales in 1914 hit 308,162, and 501,462 in 1915; by 1922, production would
exceed one million a year.
