- This company film was made to mark Ford's 75th anniversary in 1978. It shows the size and breadth of the company at the time, with over 480,000 employees in over 100 countries across the world producing over 5 million vehicles per year. All aspects of the company are shown, from vehicle design, testing, manufacture and sales. There are also segments on staff welfare and community projects. As the commentary says "few lives have remained untouched by the world of Ford"
And in the UK that year the New Boss got an 80 % pay rise refusing to go above the Government norm of 5% for the workers starting the winter of Discontent. After a strike they settled at 17 %
that all worked out well didnt it. Dagenham plant is no more.
Today Ford is a mere shadow of itself, all regular cars deleted with the recent chopping of the Fiesta sealing its fate in the name of electrification and SUVs / crossovers. Very sad
Fiesta,where is Mondeo ?
I like the various ad jingles 🎵Let Mustang take you away🎵🎵Feeling free, feeling free, my freewheeling Ford is keen and d🎵
Sadly the only passinger car Ford makes and sells in the US is the Mustang.
Completely agree. Ford has abandoned those of us in the U.S. who don't want to drive some form of commercial vehicle. Even the Mustang name has been watered down with an SUV. You can, however, get a pretty attractive CAR in China, India and Pakistan. They sell a very nice Taurus there. We should still have that kind of choice in the United States.
The Brazilian Corcel II shown in the thumbnail is really a _Renault 12_ underneath. (Another oddity was the Simca Vedette Beaulieu - it was developed by Ford France, sold to SIMCA, sold to Chrysler...it still used a Ford Flathead V8 when it ceased production in the early 1960s.)
Verdade! Meu pai teve o Corcel l e II. São carros excelentes! Depois meu pai teve um Escort L, depois um Escort L modelo Europa 1.6. Hoje possui um Fiesta SEL 1.6 Sigma Mexicano.
Brilliant thanks never seen this ❤😃
A European view of Ford. It's very refreshing.
I had 9 European ford granadas , 2 zodiacs , 1 ford escort and 2 ford fusions. Sadly ford make nothing that i like now. Their cars were perfect for the market in the 70s and 80s.
Back then, Ford was a worldwide seller of vehicles. Yet, its core identity was positively American. That part has been lacking for a long time now and their products are soulless appliances for a faceless globalized market.
Your video is very refreshing thanks my friend❤😊
Good Video. Very Interesting.
7:40, who knew Snoop Dogg once built Fords??
Crazy how much culture has been lost, all in the name of diversity. The great homogenizing of cultures has left everyone and everything grey and bland.
Diversity has a malignant undercurrent and purpose. Not to homogenize but, to wipe out 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍or at least marginalize us to the point of irrelevancy. That comes straight from Abe Foxman of the ADL. To go into greater detail is impossible because U Pipe.
Very nice!
I've always loved Fords. I have owned 11 of them over the years. GM was always a little bit of a bigger company
and they never tired of bragging about that & rubbing Fords nose in it. BUT, I always thought that Ford actually did
BETTER than GM as GM had 2 pickup lines & 5 car lines (6 counting Saturn) whilst Ford only had 1 pickup line &
only 3 car lines but yet they were always stepping on GMs heels & breathing down their neck. So I always though
Ford the better company for it.
!
Now that Ford has sold us out and makes almost nothing in the states. Will you continue to buy fords?
