Ford turns 100

Pausing to celebrate its many technical achievements of the past century, Ford maintains its focus on being an innovation leader for the next 100 years.

One hundred years of existence is quite an accomplishment for any company, particularly for one in an industry that's as globally competitive as the automotive industry.

Weathering two World Wars, the Great Depression, the challenges of constantly evolving to suit consumer demands of the time, not to mention some personal rough spots such as the tire-recall incident in 2000, Ford Motor Co. has managed to not merely survive throughout the past century, but to succeed.
