Antique Ford cars come from the famous Ford Company. Henry Ford, the founder of the company was about 40 years when he founded the company with a minimal sum of money. The company was one of the few companies that survived the great Depression. With various antique Ford models like the Model A, Model T, Oldsmobile Runabout and Gale Model A, classic Ford cars are extremely sought after as collectibles. The first Antique Auto Ford model that was made in an assembly line manner was Model T. Henry Ford also announced a profit sharing scheme if the sales met the stretch target that he had set that year. The company went through various controversies of Nazi collaboration. But such is expected when a corporate flourishes in an otherwise economically oppressed environment. Today, Ford Motors is an international company and has models that are sold all over the world. However, antique Ford cars have their own special place in history. While the vintage Ford cars are fairly popular, only the connoisseurs are aware of the fact that the Ford Company also made trucks, bus products and even tractors as early as 1908. These included pick up trucks and Ford H-Series trucks.

Ford Cars
Ford cars have had a prominent position in the history of automobiles. The best known antique Ford models are the Ford Model T and Ford Model A. Then there is also the Ford Mustang that is extremely popular as an antique Ford car. Some of the initial series 1 Ford Mustang cars are extremely classy and elegant. Besides, all this started with the Quadricycle that Henry Ford produced bringing forth the idea of traveling on 4 wheels. The antique Ford cars have come a long way from Model T to the current aerodynamic models like the Ford Taurus. The amazing thing is that few car sales till the present time have been able to match the sales figures achieved by the Model T from Ford Motors. The sales heights that were achieved by these classic models was mainly due to low competition and the fact that Ford introduced the concept of assembly line.

Ford Trucks, bus products and tractors
Ford trucks were also in production as early as 1908. The commercial products were manufactured in various countries including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Brazil and Europe and India too. While most of these production centers were short lived and are not out of operation, the operations of these antique Ford commercial vehicles lasted longer in Europe. This was the Ford Lorries division. The models that it produced were named Transcontinental and Cargo. Ford’s heavy trucks division is now sold and all that is left is classic Ford trucks that have lasted the test of time and some production for medium sized commercial vehicles. With regards to buses, the story is different. Antique Ford buses were produced initially but these were built by other manufacturers.
