Find Used Ford Cars in Utah

Ford Motor Company has been selling mass-produced vehicles in the United States for more than one hundred years. Ford is one of the top automobile companies in the U.S., and offers a very wide range of body types, style, and size of vehicles. The company started up in 1903, and was founded by Henry Ford.

A big reason for the company’s success is that they build cars for the common population. The Model A started things up, and possibly the best known antique, the Model T was sold between 1908 and 1927. 16.5 million Americans bought this vehicle during its 20-year lifespan. Ford also pioneered the moving assembly line, and this created a much more cost-effective method of production. Ford entered the luxury market with the purchase of Lincoln Motor Company in 1925. They also created the Mercury division to produce mid priced cars. After the war, the famous Thunderbird was introduced. In the 1960’s the compact Falcon was produced, and was a moderate success. By the middle of the decade Ford scored a place in automotive history with the Ford Mustang, a car that went on to become one of the biggest sellers of its day. The Mustang had a low price, available powerful V8 engines and sleek styling. Like most others in the industry, the 1970’s were a difficult time with the fuel crisis, changing tastes in style and new regulations. In 1979, the company rebounded with a stake in Mazda. The Escort and Taurus models were popular vehicles in the ‘80s and during this same time Ford purchased Jaguar and Aston Martin. Volvo’s car division and Land Rover became additional parts of the company in the ‘90s. Although Ford created a mainstay SUV, the Explorer, increased competition made things difficult for them by the millennium. The brand since has sold off Aston Martin, Jaguar and Land Rover.
