Ford kicked off in 1903 in Detroit, then changed the planet with the Model T (1908) and the moving assembly line in 1913—mass motoring, meet mass production.
Ford Australia started in 1925 in Geelong, assembling cars that would later spawn icons like the Falcon.
Post-war expansion brought global models and tech, then the Mustang (1964) made the blue oval properly famous on posters and bedroom walls.
The late 20th century saw waves of innovation and restructuring, and by 2016 Ford ended manufacturing in Australia while keeping design and engineering here.
Today it’s a mix of utes, SUVs, and a push into EVs and hybrids—think Mustang Mach‑E and friends—because the future refuses to sip petrol politely.
