The History of Ford: Celebrating over 100 Years!

The history of Ford is very special and is not like any other manufacturer. Even though it was not easy in the beginning for Henry Ford, no fewer than 19 models were introduced in only 5 years, including the famous Ford T, which was highly successful and contributed to the brand’s international popularity. Your Blainville Ford dealer, located close to Laval,
St-Eustache and Laurentides, invites you to revisit the magnificent history of the Ford automaker, who was part of our lives and who continues to delight us, as the brand has been able to adapt to changing times while providing us with increasingly advanced models.

The secret of the Ford method

Ford is not simply a car manufacturer. There is more to it than that. Indeed, On October 7, 1913, engineers working with Henry Ford invented a brand new concept: line production. Ford established the principle by which each worker only worked on one part of the assembly of the car. The tasks are therefore split into several parts. This model drastically disrupted the production models and drastically reduced costs and, as a result, the final price of the car. So owning a car is no longer a luxury, but becomes popular in all classes.

Nowadays, the entire industry (food, textile, etc.) is built on this principle of the production line. From this new production mode, the famous Ford T originally built in 12 hours would take no longer than 93 minutes. Likewise, Ford produced 100 cars a day at the beginning. Thanks to this method in 1913, production increased to 300,000 cars a day employing a total of 13,000 workers, which represent much more than its 299 competitors providing 66,000 vehicles.
