Proud Henry Ford next to the iconic Model T
Well my dear friend, it’s a day of celebration. 106 years, numerous logos, good times and bad, and you’re still out on the dance floor till closing time. While your two biggest competitors are downing their Geritol, wallowing in debt, and making everyone question American cars, you’re still kicking ass and taking names.
Many companies have come and gone, many have made a better car, and many might have more market share, but none would exist without you. By proving the idea of an assembly line (which works in almost everything, just ask Subway Sandwiches), making cars affordable to the masses, and having the business acumen to stay relevant since June 16th, 1903, our hats are off to you.
With an ever improving line up of cars, Ford is positioned to do great things in the future. Building an attractive fleet of cars people actually want to buy is something that has been tough for the American car companies recently, but as they proved with the Model T, Taurus, F-150 and the Mustang, Ford knows all about mass market appeal.
We’re proud of you old friend, and we wish you all of the success you deserve. You can have any color candle on your birthday cake, as long as it’s black.
