Ford Motor Company Description
Ford Motor began a manufacturing revolution with its mass production assembly lines in the early 1900s. The company is now firmly entrenched in the status quo as one of the world's largest makers of cars and trucks. Its vehicles brands include Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury. Among its biggest successes are the redesigned Ford Mustang and F-Series pickup. Ford owns a 33% stake in Mazda and also controls the Volvo nameplate. Finance subsidiary Ford Motor Credit is the one of the US's leading auto finance companies. After clearing all of the antitrust and labor hurdles, Ford has sold Land Rover and Jaguar to India-based Tata Motors for a reported $2.3 billion.
