About Ford
The Ford Motor Company was founded by Henry Ford in 1903, and 22 years later an Australian subsidiary was established – in Geelong, Victoria.
Ford pioneered the moving assembly line in 1913, dramatically reducing production time for its Model T car.
Famous nameplates from more than a century of car-making are many and include Capri, Escort, Mustang, and Thunderbird.
In Australia, the Ford Falcon was the company’s most iconic vehicle. It was built locally for more than 50 years, before the large car (and ute) stopped along with local production in October 2016.
The company continues to import vehicles and is also responsible for leading the design and development of the Ford Ranger ute and Ford Everest SUV.
In 2023 it will sell right-hand-drive conversions of the world’s biggest-selling truck, the Ford F-150.
