Founded in 1903 by Henry Ford in Detroit, Michigan, Ford transformed the automobile industry through mass production while building a performance legacy that spans more than a century. From the revolutionary Model T to icons such as the Mustang, Shelby GT350 and GT500, and the legendary GT40, Ford has produced some of America’s most influential automobiles. Its racing history includes the GT40’s famous four consecutive victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 through 1969, along with decades of success in NASCAR, drag racing, and international competition. Today, significant Mustangs, Shelby models, GT40s, and other rare performance Fords remain highly sought after by collectors for their racing heritage, historical importance, and unmistakable American character.
