In six months, I became sales manager, and within one year I was general sales manager. In 1982, I bought Village Ford, with Ford Motor Company; I was a dealer development dealer. I put in $150,000 and Ford Motor Company put in $850,000. I bought Ford out in two and a half years. The dealership I bought at that time was called Stuart Wilson Ford and it dated back to 1947, which was the year of my birth. In 1947, Stuart Wilson had built this unique building with a rotunda to imitate The Ford Rotunda, which was built for the 1934 Chicago World’s Fair as an exhibit to promote the Ford Motor Company. That rotunda was moved back to Dearborn after the fair, and later burned down. So, our rotunda showroom was designed by Henry Ford, who died, ironically, in 1947. So, I was born, Ford died, and the dealership was rebuilt all in the same year. I’m going to try to get this building dedicated as a historical site.” The City of History//Dearborn 2.

  • Chapter 15 the ON-AGAIN, OFF-AGAIN HISTORY of the FORD
    Chapter 15 THE ON-AGAIN, OFF-AGAIN HISTORY OF THE FORD BUILDING IN BALBOA PARK We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we make today. Henry Ford Architect Albert Kahn's Ford Building, design for the 1933-1934 Chicago Century of Progress, was a simple rotunda, grooved and stacked on the outside to look like an automobile gear.(1) In 1936, the Ford Motor Company moved the pavilion to Dearborn, Michigan. The Company used the building as a display room until 1962 when it burned down. Industrial Designer Walter Dorwin Teague used Kahn's designs for the Century of Progress Ford Building and for the General Motors Building as sources for the building put in Balboa Park, San Diego, for the 1935 California-Pacific International Exposition. The gear symbolism and circular shape came from the first, the four-door entrance with framing windows above and tall tower came from the second. Preliminary drawings called for a 350-ft. diameter, 41-ft. high ring, surrounding a 186-ft. diameter patio. A 100-ft. entrance tower would stand on the north side. The tower was to rise in three-telescoping stages to 198 ft. Total floor area came to 113,000 sq. ft.(2) The Ford Company reduced specifications before construction began.(3) Executives told Teague to cut the tower to 90 ft., the diameter of the main ring to 300 ft., (4) and the floor space to about 60,000 sq. ft.(5) San Diego architects Richard Requa and Louis Bodmer prepared construction drawings and work schedules on the spot as Teague had neither the time nor skill to undertake that duty.

  • Labor on Display: Ford Factory Tours and the Romance of Globalized Deindustrialization
    Labor on Display: Ford Factory Tours and the Romance of Globalized Deindustrialization by Wendy Lynnette Michael A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (American Culture) in the University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Kristin Ann Hass, Chair Professor Howard Brick Professor Bruce A. Pietrykowski Professor Penny M. Von Eschen Preface In 1989, I began working on the assembly line at a transplant manufacturing facility owned by Mazda. At first it was exciting as I finally had a “real” job at the age of 30, even though I was hired in as a temporary worker, the promise of a permanent position made it seem solid.1 But I had never worked in a factory before and had no clue how demanding the job was. The first night – afternoon shift ran from 7 pm until 3:30 a.m. when the line wasn’t running overtime – was such an eye-opener. I stepped onto a moving platform and rode down the line with the car I was working on and stepped off again after spending my time bent over, attaching straps into the trunks of Ford Probes and Mazda 6s, and then run - and I do mean run - back to the parts rack to grab more parts and step up to repeat the process on the next car.2 It was hot, sweaty, and frustrating because it was so difficult to keep up with the pace of the line. The other new hire, a man about my age, left at lunch and never returned (another eye- opener!).
