Hoover's coverage by Jeff Dorsch

Overview

Ford Motor began a manufacturing revolution with its mass production assembly lines in the early 20th century. The company is now firmly entrenched in the status quo as one of the world's largest makers of cars and trucks. Its vehicle brands include Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury. Among its biggest successes are the redesigned Ford Mustang and the F-Series pickup. Ford owns a small stake in Mazda and also controls the Volvo nameplate (which is on the auction block). Finance subsidiary Ford Motor Credit is one of the US's leading auto finance companies. Ford Motor gets more than half of its sales outside North America.
