New and used Ford Information:

Ford Motor Company entered the business world without fanfare on June 16, 1903, when the late Henry Ford and 11 associates filed incorporation papers at Michigan's State Capitol in Lansing. With an abundance of faith, but only $28,000 in cash, the pioneering industrialists gave birth to what was to become one of the world's largest corporations. Few companies are as closely identified with the history and development of America throughout the 20 th century as Ford. And perhaps no other American firm is as well known across the globe.

At the time of its incorporation, Ford was a tiny operation in a converted Detroit wagon factory staffed with 10 people. Today, the company is the world's second-largest industrial corporation, and is the second-largest producer of cars and trucks, with active manufacturing, assembly or sales operations in 31 countries on six continents.

More than 338,000 men and women now come to work each day in Ford factories, laboratories and offices around the world. Ford products are sold in more than 200 nations and territories by a global network of some 10,500 dealers. And the Ford company's annual sales exceed the gross national products of many industrialized nations. With 6.7 million new and used car and commercial vehicle sales in 1994, Ford held a 13 percent global share.
