Overview

  • Ford's U.S. Heritage Fleet, revealed at its Dearborn, Michigan headquarters, includes 175 vehicles representing the company's most significant milestones and innovations.
  • The collection features iconic models such as the 10-millionth Mustang, a 1938 V-8 ambulance, and concept vehicles like the 2007 Airstream and 2004 Ford Bronco.
  • Ford emphasizes that the fleet is not a museum but a working collection used by engineers and designers to inspire and inform future vehicle development.
  • The initiative, inspired by similar efforts in Ford's international divisions, was spearheaded by CEO Jim Farley to preserve and utilize the company's legacy in the U.S.
  • A portion of the fleet will be displayed during internal events, such as 'Bring Your Child to Work Day,' with plans to make select vehicles available for other corporate activities.
