About Ford
The Ford Motor Company, usually just referred to as 'Ford', was founded by Henry
Ford over 100
years ago back in June 1903. The American company that has grown massively in that time
initially began in a small factory in Detroit, Michigan. Paris was where Ford's first
international sales branch opened in 1908 to begin the journey to becoming the global automotive
powerhouse it is today.
The company has had a stake in several other huge names in the automotive industry
over the years, such as Land Rover, Aston Martin, Jaguar and Volvo. The iconic Ford logo as we
know it today has seen several transformations over the years as well. There have been no less
than ten versions of the logo precede the current logo which came about in 2003.
If you go for a drive today, it's highly unlikely that you won't see a Ford on the
roads, and its a testament to the reputation the brand has built as well as the wide variety of
models that are on offer for consumers to choose from. Two of the most popular Ford models are
the Focus and Fiesta which provide a good all-round option, but there really is something for
everyone within their range. For example, the KA is hugely popular with new drivers for its
no-nonsense small design and practicality, while for those with a family who take a lot of day
trips, the Ford Edge fits the bill! There are even the likes of the Mustang for those craving a
truly sporty ride. Other popular Ford vehicles include the Kuga, C Max, B Max and Ranger.
