Ford's Latest Accomplishment

I read an article about Ford’s latest automobile, the 2006 Ford Fusion. The writer raves about the car’s “power, economic execution with the taut construction and refined interior that are trademarks of some of the best European sedans. This car is a fine example of the best car-building quality American has to offer.
The article made me question when the first Ford automobile was made. After some quick research I found out that Henry Ford invented the all American Ford automobile in the year 1893. With the construction of the new car, he founded the Ford Motor Company in 1903. In 1913, he started using interchangeable parts in the automobiles and familiarized assembly-line work to American industries. This new innovation in automobile production raised the company’s profits thirty million dollars in 1914 and sixty million dollars in 1916. It is easy to say that Mr. Ford opened a new door to the American automobile industry.

The article is from the front page of The Boston Globe's, Automobile Section, September 11, 2005 newspaper. I couldn't find the article on boston.com but do have the article handy for anyone who would like to see it (aka Mr. Raia).
