Fords Came to Lawrenceburg

 

For basically the first half of the 20th century, Ford was the top selling automobile in the United States. And while not number one, it still remained one of the two best selling vehicles coming out of World War II. Officially founded by Henry Ford in 1903, the Ford Motor Company wasn't Ford's first automobile company. He had founded the Detroit Automobile Company in 1899. With a couple of other companies in between (including one called Cadillac), Henry Ford learned with each company and by the time his namesake firm was formed, he had developed a plan that would bring innovation to, not only the car industry, but to all manufacturing. There were plenty of Ford Motor cars on hand for the 10th Annual Cruisin' to a Cure for ALS show held in Lawrenceburg. Among them was a 1972 Gran Torino, a first generation Thunderbird, a 1970 Torino convertible, a Fairlane, a Galaxie 500, a 1963 Fairlane 500, and a Falcon.
