120th Anniversary

Overview

For 120 years, our purpose has never wavered. Ford has been committed to making the world a better place, one that benefits lives, communities and the planet. From the Ford Model T to the Mustang, F-150 Lightning and Bronco, innovation, reimagination and reinvention have defined our commitment to creating the most desirable products and services that give people the freedom to move and to pursue their dreams.

Today, we are more connected and united by this mission than ever, and our 120th anniversary is the perfect moment to celebrate this spirit and showcase our values. This isn’t just about honoring our impressive heritage: It’s also about recognizing the future we’re building together.
