Read through the fascinating history of Ford Motor Company in this guide. From one man with mountains of ambition to a global corporation, Ford has been turning heads for decades. At thirteen, he had the opportunity to see a steam roller up close, and his love of machines was born. However, he soon returned to the farm to operate and build small engines for farming equipment. In 1888, he married Clara Bryant who would support all of his engineering endeavors. Within a few years, he started work as a superintendent at the Detroit Automobile Company, a precursor to the Ford Motor Company. He also believed the most popular vehicles would be used for racing and started to develop cars for that purpose. Over the next few years, he continued to develop new vehicles and engines. Over the next few years, they steadily increased profits and became more successful. The first use of assembly lines for car production is credited to Ransom Olds, the founder of Oldsmobile as early as 1901. Ford’s line, however, was different, in that it was completely automated. It was so fast that even the paint didn’t have time to dry. High production was met with high demand and resulted in high profits. He built a huge complex of factories to keep all parts of production within his company. When Ford stockholders objected to building this complex, Ford bought them out and made his son president. This would become the inspiration for the F-100 series and eventually the F-150 series which remains the best-selling truck model today. In 1945, he gave control to his grandson Henry Ford II. 1945 would also bring changes to the company because of the end of World War II. Several cars came from the years after the war including 1954’s Thunderbird and 1964’s Mustang. Click here if you are interested in finding a Ford Bronco for sale. However, Ferrari used the offer to start working with Fiat instead. In response, Ford started working with Carroll Shelby to produce vehicles that could compete with Ferrari at Le Mans. These designs would also be used for the Shelby line of Mustangs. In 1972, Ford begins putting retractable seatbelts in its cars, and in 1976, Ford of Europe debuts the new Fiesta line. In 1981, they introduce the Lincoln Town Car which would become one of their most popular sedans. In 1988, Ford becomes the highest-earning car company in the world at 5.3 billion dollars, and in 1989, Ford buys Jaguar Cars. In 1999, Ford buys the vehicle division of Volvo. Things like safety and environmental emissions were becoming as important as speed and looks for people wanting to buy a new car. Because of this, Bridgestone recalled 6.5 million tires and tried to focus the blame on Ford while Ford blamed Bridgestone. Overall, the recall cost more than 2 billion dollars. They designed SUVs for families in addition to the trucks and cars they had sold for nearly a century. In 2005, they released the Mercury Mariner. This was their first gas-electric hybrid.

Buying a van that’s set up with what you need can get pretty expensive and it can be hard to know what you should focus on. We’re going to tell you 7 tips to help you choose the best utility van for your business so you can get on with doing what you do best, being an entrepreneur. Follow our guide and you’ll be riding in style while turning your small-time business into a cleaning empire. Let’s get started. The type of cleaning that you’re doing will dictate what those things are. If you’re doing small, residential cleans, then you just need basic supplies and a small vehicle that can hold them. Since you’ll be cleaning a much larger place, you need to consider things like buffers, industrial vacuums, larger quantities of cleaning supplies. After you’ve gotten all of this stuff, you’ll need something to transport it: your utility van. This goes back to the type of business you’re going to be running. If it’s a small scale window washing business, then you don’t need a huge van with all the bells and whistles. Seeing it all on paper and then visualizing it in the back of the van will help you decide how big to go. Many people use, abuse, and sell them to dealers and private buyers, making them a more affordable option when you’re starting out. Some have sliding one side door, while others might have sliding doors on both sides. This is not something to overlook because you want your van to work with you, not against you. Think about how different door configurations will work for you and let that inform your decision. Basically, when you start to use this van a lot, you’re going to care about things like gas mileage, your van’s ability to haul, and how the weight affects the gas mileage and performance of the vehicle. Bigger ones like the Sprinter and Express can pull their weight, but at what cost. Definitely research this and figure out what’s in your best interest. Like we said earlier, you can easily find cargo-ready models on the used market, but it requires some searching. The startup costs of running a cleaning business might be a little bit less than other types of entrepreneurial endeavors, but things add up. Buying something that’s 15 years old is probably going to be more trouble than it’s worth, but something 5-7 years old might run just as well as a new van. Do some research into production years for different models, which will give you an indication of how far back you can go before a van is too out of date. There are loads of makes and models to choose from, all of which have pros and cons. Now that you’ve got your van picked out, you can focus on growing your new cleaning business.
