The Ford Motor Company is one of the biggest multinational companies and one of the most famous car-makers in the world. Founded by the legendary Henry Ford, this company played an important role in the spreading of methods for large-scale manufacturing.
For better or worse, this brand has made the American (and not only) car history. Or, at least, has contributed in a very significant way. Let's just mention some models like the Ford Mustang 1964/1965, Capri, Escort, Gran Torino or more recent ones like Ford GT or F-150 Raptor.
