For a brand to last up to and beyond 100 years is rare and worth acknowledgement. It still cuts me deep that we no longer make Ford's, or any cars in this country, but that's a complicated and deeply controversial story on its own. Ford do still employ a large development team, run a large proving ground and have their own design center. When GM and Toyota closed shop, its similar facilities were shuttered, and GM went on to kill the Holden brand entirely. A changing market waits for no one, Ford adapted, GM-H took too long to adapt and ultimately failed.

Reading comments online, there seems to be a lot of long-term ex-factory employees who are p.ssed off for not getting an invite to this event. While I can understand that, these people have not worked for the company for nearly 9 years now, they couldn't accommodate every single person who ever worked for the company over the last 100 years.
