Ford History Henry Ford launched the Ford Motor Company in a small converted wagon factory in the American city of Detroit on June 16, 1903. One hundred years later, Ford has grown to become the world's second largest automaker with around 350,000 employees, operating in more than 200 countries on six continents. A year after Ford was formed in the US, the first Ford car -- a Model A -- was imported into Australia in 1904. Ford cars continued to be imported into Australia through agents and distributors from Canada and the US over the next 20 years. In 1925, Ford Motor Company of Australia was formed and local production of the Model T began in Geelong, Victoria. In 2000, Ford Australia commemorated 75 years of local manufacture and is proud of the part it has played in the 100 years of Ford history around the world. Also their is a way in scanning that pic in two pieces and the later put it together in a publisher file I do it all the time with old record covers! once you have it in the publisher file you can then reduce it to fit A4 sized paper. If you wish to, what I do is reduce record covers to take the place for CD's as a lot of my music collection is on vinyl which I've changed over to CD Regards, Ray.
