The history of the development of technology, the history of how man moved from the simplest tools of labor to the invention and use of the most complex, most advanced technical means, to the discovery of new sources of energy - this is the history of human thought. This is a story of great discoveries and accomplishments, great milestones on the path of human development.
The need of people for the need for accelerated movement on earth led mankind to the creation of various machines and mechanisms, the most convenient and beloved of which was the car.
The word "car" means "self-propelled cart", although in the modern sense it is customary to call cars only vehicles equipped with autonomous engines (internal combustion, electric, steam).
Ford
The Ford Motor Company was founded in 1903. Its founders were twelve businessmen from Michigan, led by Henry Ford, who held a 25.5% stake in the company and served as vice president and chief engineer of the company.
Ford Model A
The company's first car was sold on July 23, 1903. It was a "gasoline sidecar" powered by an 8 hp engine, dubbed the "Model A". The car has been described as "the most advanced car on the market that even a 15-year-old boy can drive"
From the very beginning, Ford wanted to produce mass-produced cars that had a very simple design and low cost. In those years, very few people could afford a car. Ford, on the other hand, wanted to "put the world on wheels" and therefore sought to make a car accessible to the widest sections of the population.
History of the Ford logo
Today, few people know, but Ford entered the Russian market back in 1907. The first representative office of Ford Motor Company was located on Petrovsky Lines in the house of the Rossiya Hotel. Customers were initially offered the "N" model, and then the "T" model. Then, according to customs statistics, 563 cars were imported into Russia.
