I live in Dearborn mi, I’ve been to Henry Ford house on his estate in Dearborn Michigan it’s located by the university of Michigan and I’ve actually seen his personal garage and I’ve seen Henry Ford wifes electric car. Plus Henry actually had a bowling ally in his basement it was pretty cool to see his estate espiaclly the water fall on the river rouge it’s small but still cool to look at and think 100 years ago Henry Ford was there
I was born & raised 2 miles from FMC. My father worked there for 35 yrs. I seen many new cars driving down my street before they came out to the public.
As a consumer of all things of a "historical documentary" nature, I couldn't agree more! Just freaking KILLED it in information, presentation and production!
@@medgrower1.killer like a special production for History or Discovery Channel. The same happened to Coyote Peterson and the brave wilderness team. Nowadays they have their own tv show on the Animal Planet .
Stamping metal for many Toyota's. Business is busy. Hard to find people who are willing to work. Yeah a lot of overtime, but the paychecks are going strong. Almost 64. About time for me to move on. Time to relax after all these years of work.
We can start our own. That’s what’s great about America. You just have to fight corrupt government and labor unions who lie and say they invented the 8 hour work day...
I like my old fords. Got a 89 bronco. I think he would be more ashamed of the quality than the price. Most parts under the hood are made of plastic now... like plastic radiators.
Wow, this video deserve some kind of a award thank you, Scotty. The time and effort you put into this must’ve been a real passion. 2020 Documentary of the year.
Well, I'll be darned! You've become one hell of an educator Scotty. But, I guess that's really what you've been doing all along with your vids. good Job!
Always stay with Ford and Toyota never step foot anywhere near a Chevy or Dodge letting you down is all they do Toyota's make great trucks but there's only so much you can do for what you pay the best for hauling will always be Ford
I once bought a honda accord; it needed a new engine AND a transmission in less than 2 years. I dumped it and bought a Mustang. Put over 250,000 miles on it over 17 years. I’ve owned 8 Fords in the 30 years I’ve been driving, never once been left walking.
it is strange that in 1967 I could afford a new Mustang on minimum wage but now theres no way,, Ford should come up with a basic Mustang without all the frills and geegaws, that would sell almost as fast as they could make them
It's the same today. You stated the key word "can" because auto could always require a "mortgage". If you would purchase a Fiesta you could purchase one for around $12000.
@@donsallee5941, they couldn't if they wanted to. Safety features like airbags and seat belts and backup cameras are required by law. They also have to pass rigorous testing, making R&D fairly expensive. And some things aren't worth backtracking on. 35 years ago, it was cheaper to install window cranks than to install window regulators and motors. Now, it would cost about the same to go back to manual crank windows. I'd love to see car companies focus on budget models. But I think they'll always look like the Chevy Spark or the Mitsubishi Mirage or the Nissan Sentra. $15,000 - $17,000. At two thirds the price of a decent looking car, you might as well splurge.
When Ford was making the model t the left over wood from making the wood wheels were made into charcoal and this is the beginning of kingsford charcoal
Ford bought his transmissions from the dodge Brothers. He specified the size and dimensions for the wooden shipping crates. One shipping crate made one model t floor board 👌
That is correct Henry Ford was related to Thomas Edison they were cousins. and and he and Edison, and Kingsford, an employee of Ford's. and other people like Teddy Roosevelt, and even other's that were his competitors like Ransom Olds. the founder of Oldsmobile, would go out to the woods on camping trips. and would use specially equipped model Ts that chuck wagon set ups on them. and would camp and BBQ I guess it's called grilling today. it was a very popular pastime back in them days. and the brickets so to speak came from the iron foundry that was part of the Ford Motor Company. so I guess you could say that Henry Ford was the father of camping and BBQing.
Watched it twice and am about to go for #3. I absolutely enjoy the many repair videos that you offer , but I must say , I believe that you are on to something here. How bout Chevy, Toyota, etc. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if you kept it on going. The absolute passion and thought put in to this Jem is Amazing! With out a doubt I would be willing to pay to see content like this from you. You are literally recognized as a high end brand. I imagine that folks world wide know of you and enjoy your content just as much as I do ! Can't wait for the next One.......
Came to US from Punjab. God knows how much i love this country now. It's been 15 years and 7 cars i owned and will own only ford. Had 2 mustangs and believe me how free you feel while driving it. I think that's true american car vibe i.e ford.
Glad to hear that u are living the American dream and love this country. It's good to hear these days. I miss my mustang , I wish I'd never traded it in, but I'm still a Ford guy I have an F-150 and a focus. Good luck to you brother!
@Mario S. So is everyone else, smh. It's a global economy. They have to compete. But they do still make vehicles here anyway, but they also need to stay in business. If they go out of business they'll employ zero American workers
Scotty, somehow I missed your video of how FORD started out with his company that did so much for so many people and his clever inventions which included his friendship with some very talented engineers/inventions. I dad actually started school at a community college learning how to work on Fords back in the 1960’s. Although he always had his hands on experience with every car he ever had. My dad owned a 1958 4 door T Bird. It was black. None of us would have dreamed of keeping it for a collection for future generations. Thank you for bringing us along for the history of how Henry Ford and what he accomplished during his life time.👍
Scotty, my 2013 Ford Mustang has NEVER needed a single repair. I have had to replace the tires and battery, do oil changes and filter changes and tire rotations. My BMW 3-series, my Chevy Blazer and my Hyundai Velostar (worst. car. ever.) practically needed at least one repair every six months (from buying NEW!). This V6 Ford Mustang has made me very happy. Even though it only had a 3 year warranty, I never needed it. My Hyundai had a 10 year warranty - because it needs it! So, when its' time to buy a new car, which manufacturer you think I'm going to pick next?
I drive an '06 Fiesta, so guess who gets to drive the family around when their cars break down! 😂😂. The biggest issue I've ever had in mine was some of the plastic parts under the bonnet breaking after about 14 Years of use...
Coukdnt disagree more on ‘leading edge’ . They no longer honor the word ‘quality’- and if ‘tough’ is what they consider their product now- the only adjective I can think of is ‘overpriced’
I'm not from the states but i own a ford Mondeo/Fusion and owned a Fiesta a few years ago, at first i was afraid of them because everyone said they are unreliable, now i had my Mondeo for 3 years now and it's never been touched by a mechanic since, except for oil changes and transmission fluid changes, same with the Fiesta.
Overall a better value for money though. Of course you can get cheaper trucks, cheaper parts, cheaper build, just cheaper...if you want cheap. Premium product=premium price, it's not a new concept, people just expect more for less.
I saw this guy with a massive Toyota tundra with a massive American flag on the back. I asked him “couldn’t even buy American, huh?” He looked at me all confused and then he realized lol
@@jivet3919 he was confused because that Tundra is 100% made in the USA employing thousands of American workers. Toyota doesn't even sell that in Japan
Think I may have mentioned before, I'd rather perform dental surgery on myself than raise a wrench to any car. But Scotty's offering a hellovalot more than car sense. Very well done buddy!
Fantastic Video Scotty .... A+++ Being raised in the Motor city, and the son of big shot in the tire industry during the 60's I can vouch for your accuracy and authenticity and ENJOYED it thoroughly.
Why the Mustang was so special, and was the reason the military chose the name and Ford also did. was that the name meant a horse or horse's. that were undemesticated, running in the wild, free, strong, and fast. a real symbol of strength it was an obvious choice.
Spectacular! I don't think the History Channel, or the Science Channel could do any better. I was fully interested the entire time of the video! Excellent job!
Hello, fellow Grand Marquis afficianado! Best. Car. Ever. My first was a 1989 LS that my wife and I, newly married 23 year olds, drove 3000 miles from Ohio to Montana for our honeymoon. Nobody else my age was driving one, and my siblings were merciless with their barbs. I didn't care. It was like riding a couch all the way across the United States. I've had two others since then, and I'll get another when the current one dies. SUV's and FWD drivetrains are for everyone else. For those of us with taste and an appropriate regard for naturally aspirated V8's, there are Grand Marquis. Keep on keeping on!
honestly these are amazing videos... i wish scotty made more like this about cars and the manufacturers who made them and its just awesome history you dont really learn anywhere other than videos like this.... and scotty is smart great to listen too and you can tell these video took time.... research... and love of cars in order to make these.... i could only imagine the time it takes to put this type of video together but i personally appreciate it because like i said there really is no where to watch stuff like this other than RUclips and or i guess trying to hunt down car shows on random TV subscription channels but that can be ruff.... thanks again scotty hope to see more history style videos like this... love learning about the history of car companies
I enjoy your videos Scotty ,thanks. My first vehicle I learnt to drive was my Mum & Dad's Fordson Major. I was told Ford stole the Ferguson system and fitted it to his tractor, and grew fields of hemp for fuel and car materials, well before it was illegal.
I live in Dearborn mi, I’ve been to Henry Ford house on his estate in Dearborn Michigan it’s located by the university of Michigan and I’ve actually seen his personal garage and I’ve seen Henry Ford wifes electric car. Plus Henry actually had a bowling ally in his basement it was pretty cool to see his estate espiaclly the water fall on the river rouge it’s small but still cool to look at and think 100 years ago Henry Ford was there
@Bill Randall *yes, but he wasn't alone. Margaret Sanger did as well and wrote books. Hitler really appreciated her writings and incorporated it in his country. Margaret Sanger founded America's Planned Parenthood. She hoped to reduce the black population. For some reason the Democratic Party loves Planned Parenthood.*
My great grandfather was in his 80’s out fishing one morning & just happened to start up a conversation with another old timer. Amazingly they had worked side by side as young men at Henry Ford’s car manufacturing place in Chicago.
I have been a ford lover since i was a kid in the 50s... this is the best video from you or anyone showing a comprehensive history of Ford and i am truly grateful. I love your channel and have learned so much but i really love this video and your ability to relate the story of a company that America can be proud of. Thank You, Scotty.
@@townhall05446 im sorry but the 345 hemi and the 392 hemi are both great engines. The 426 hellephant is incredible. The first mass produced crate engine to surpass 1000 hp. Dodge is actually at the top right now. They have the least amount of problems per 100 cars of any manufacturer and that includes toyota and chevy.
Just amazing - well presented. An important message today about AFFORDABLE transportation for folks like the ones building the cars, and electric also being right there too fighting for really the most affordable and practical.
Scotty Kilmer your going to get a lot of fans ask this question over the months of you posting new videos might as well make a video about why you merged I think is a good idea
Lol so true Ian I’ve been a master mechanic for 30+ years Just go by a Ford service department. But out of the big 3 American brands I have to admit I would take a Ford
R J yes I understand that I was also a Ford factory trained technician and a diesel technician in Houston Texas for many years and I am still in the industry. Most of the vehicles I see in the service department are not in for regular service There is a separate part of most shops for maintenance and most have a designated quick lube section as well. What I see most recently are turbo failures left and right on all ecoboost engines, transmission issues, evaporators leaking, overheating issues and a ton of sunroof failure on all the trucks (very expensive) and a ton of diesel issues on the three quarter and one ton trucks. That doesn’t even include the broken spark plugs in the older 3 valve engines and the cam phaser issues. But being a tech I know how to do all these repairs Like I mentioned earlier out of all domestics I would still pick a Ford
Im the original owner of a 2000 f150 4.2l with 241,000 miles on it an I just replaced the original fuel pump after 21yrs THATS WHAT YOU CALL QUALITY For. For Off. On Road. Road Driving. Drag racing
It is kind of surprising that none of the hollywood studios haven't hired some of the great youtube presenters. Scotty, Indy Neidell, The History Guy, all do a better job than the people seen on TV these days.
My first car (as old as me) was a 67’ Ford Mustang, my latest car is going to be a Bronco. I’ve always thought Ford to be as an American as you could get. Still built in Michigan.
Loved the video and having grown up with a father whose now retired from Ford and a brother close to retirement it gave me a better understanding of the company that I work for. Yes, I work for Ford too and love that they provide a living for me and my wife. Only one gripe, it would have been nice to see the big union strike in the video, but other than that it was really well made. Very good job.
I’ve owned 2 Fords in my life and didn’t have much luck with either. A 1984 Tempo, and a 1988 Thunderbird Super Coupe with. Supercharged V6 and 5 speed manual.
The Shield mine had issue from the start , oil leak, power steering pump leak, any parts needed were never in stock. With the oil leak I can vividly recall how upset the dealer mechanic was trying to fix it, yelling “ these damn engineers and Fords better ideas, they should have to bring their assess down here and try and work on them sometime!” 😆
@@Charliefox71 mustangs sure were popular in the 80s. 5.0 litre V 8s n the ford mustang svo ( 4 cyl turbo) along with lincoln town car , Ltd crown vic.....nice land yachts with a lot of power.

In 1925 the price fell to $260.00, that’s equivalent to $3,125.00 today(2020)… 3 Years Later. In 1925 the price fell to $260.00, that’s equivalent to $4,585.00 Do the math on that one 😩😭 I really enjoyed this one Scotty
Wow that was really put together good it wasn't just a video of you talking you have little clips and pictures of Henry Ford in there and details I mean that was like professionally done something I would watch on the History Channel nice video
I've had 4 Ford trucks: A 1968 f100, a 78 f150, a 79 f150 and a95 f150. I've also had a gmc, a Nissan and a Mitsubishi. Never had a dodge truck but have had 3 dodge vans and 3 or 4 dodge cars. Personally, I consider Ford trucks, especially 1995 ish and before, to be the gold standard in trucks. Just my opinion. P.S. I read somewhere a few years ago that the 'preferred vehicle' of most millionaires in America, was the 1/2 ton Ford pickup. That being the case I figured that I had the truck so now all I need is the money.
Wow Scotty! I loved watchin this Ford documentary! Great production quality on it. Real Americans buy Ford because the company represents the future of personal transportation. I hope Ford never stops innovating and I can't wait to see what they innovate next.
Haven't watched anything packed with info like this video in a while, thanks Scotty for reminding me that learning can be awesome! Especially the way you do your videos👍👍
Always a Japanese vehicle fan, had Toyota Honda and Subaru. Just bought my first Ford, a 2020 F-250 7.3L gas. Hope Ford doesn’t let me down. 100% built in Kentucky.
@@scottykilmer My late uncle tried to tell me that the Tucker was just built on the Oldsmobile chassis. Fortunately my town in Indiana has a Tucker on display, you can walk right up to it, and my uncle saw first hand that the Tucker was not a re-bodied Olds.
I'm 44 and been a Ford farmboy all my life! My first vehicle when I was 15 on 1994 was a 78 F100 with no power steering or brakes and a straight 6 . Damn I miss my old green truck.. good times!
Dealer and service network in rural America. Even though you typically only get a year warranty, there are a lot of people that only trust the dealer based service department. Major cities have lots of brand dealers, but many small towns and rural counties only have one or two new truck/car dealerships. Ford (most), Chevy then Dodge. Trucks are the cornerstone of those sales, but to move cars they are forced to take, the rural dealerships will often sell economy cars under cost to move them and help win factory incentives that help the dealer survive. Smart city car buyers often go out to the rural dealer to get a better car deal and pay less sales tax. They can still get their warranty work done at CarCity Ford. Getting out of the economy and police sized sedan business will change things... However as more and more first tier companies are dropping sedans.... Then Ford has the biggest truck dealership network still.
@@STho205 Most of those dealerships use aftermarket parts for repairs too. They buy many parts from local parts suppliers (NAPA, PepBoys etc), vehicle manufacturers don't make common parts like calipers, starters, solenoids etc. The companies that make the dealer's parts also make the same OEM for the aftermarket, which dealerships often use because of cost and availability.
Great video Scotty! Love the videos. Love my Fords. I’ve owned 2 old Ford escorts, 1 Mustang, owned two F150’s and currently own a 2021 F150 and a 2021 Ford Explorer ST. Best bang for the buck. BTW very cool Canadian Toronto connection. I’m a 15 min ride from there
Just bought a 2008 used ford taurus for 1600 & its so quiet 🤫 & there were somethings that weren't working like both front door handles didn't work but my husband fixed it with just a couple zipties & the front seat back adjuster doesn't work & AC doesn't work but thats literally it...I never had a ford before but thank God I didn't go back to Nissan ✌
I have owned 3 Volkswagens to the 250,000 mile mark. No Failures and any of them other than one radiator. But you must keep up with the service schedule and be very proactive with maintenance. Can't ignore them!
Actually at one point Ford had wanted to build his town in northern Alabama, and while the town still holds his name...from looking at Detroit maybe it was a good thing lol.
Yeah but if you got a job at ford you would have to move to alabama. Who the hell wants to live in alabama 😂. There is a reason why alabama doesn’t have any professional sports team.
@@ignignokt-6050 lol yea, pro sports teams or dilapidated buildings and crime through the roof, never cared much for Alabama myself but I do think Alabama and Auburn both seem to do fairly well in college sports, but let's face it, the Detroit Lion's are far from a professional team lol.
That was Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Look at the street names in Highland Park, Michigan where Ford's headquarters were at the time, and look at the street names in Muscle Shoals.
@@kroll41271 yea, just outside of there is an area called Ford City that actually had been invested in, think there are even still poured sidewalks that are basically out of place where he had originally planned to develop for workers and for utilizing the river.
@Bobby Knuckles h-yea they "were" tanks (made to last) , the tow truck had to choke his tires and pull (untill the wire was straight with his front wheels off the ground) to pull my dads 71 Lincoln continental stuck with only 1 tire in a ditch . A Tank for sure!
Last time I checked, there were quite a few ford's you could buy new that had a starting price between 18 and 30k, while somewhat expensive, that's by no means an absurd amount for a brand new car. I know people are gonna say, wow, if I tick every options box the car gets expensive but my reaction to that is, of dug. Modern cars are more expensive, but they represent a better value. More powerful, efficient, reliable and safe for a price increase of a few thousand compared to cars from a decade ago. That's not terrible.
kinda makes you wonder why the auto manufacturers can't make a "real car" for the average working man. You can tell the people who struggle by the "throw away" cars that you see on our public roadways
Edison was notorious for stealing ideas from other "less known" inventors, such as Tesla. Not sure he deserves that much credit. Otherwise great vid again!
I love your vids scotty! I am currently getting into mechanics and am a apprentice at a shop and all your videos help me more and more into the car world...thank you they really help me in more ways than one! Much love and happiness brother...
The history of Ford is super interesting. At its peak, it was the most complex and comprehensive assembly line ever. But that proved too cumbersome to change: one of the inspirations for how companies do manufacturing still today.

More like...now that "affordable car" can only be sold with a 7 year 0% interest loan. lol
When Ford was making the model t the left over wood from making the wood wheels were made into charcoal and this is the beginning of kingsford charcoal
true fact.very good bit of knowledge there
Ford bought his transmissions from the dodge Brothers. He specified the size and dimensions for the wooden shipping crates. One shipping crate made one model t floor board 👌
Seen the modern marvels lol
That is correct Henry Ford was related to Thomas Edison they were cousins. and and he and Edison, and Kingsford, an employee of Ford's. and other people like Teddy Roosevelt, and even other's that were his competitors like Ransom Olds. the founder of Oldsmobile, would go out to the woods on camping trips. and would use specially equipped model Ts that chuck wagon set ups on them. and would camp and BBQ I guess it's called grilling today. it was a very popular pastime back in them days. and the brickets so to speak came from the iron foundry that was part of the Ford Motor Company. so I guess you could say that Henry Ford was the father of camping and BBQing.
Kingsford was a cousin in law of Henry Ford and owned a Dealership . He arranged for a large land purchase for Ford .
Watched it twice and am about to go for #3. I absolutely enjoy the many repair videos that you offer , but I must say , I believe that you are on to something here. How bout Chevy, Toyota, etc. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if you kept it on going. The absolute passion and thought put in to this Jem is Amazing! With out a doubt I would be willing to pay to see content like this from you. You are literally recognized as a high end brand. I imagine that folks world wide know of you and enjoy your content just as much as I do ! Can't wait for the next One.......
My Great Grandfather used to work at the Detroit Ford plant before he even met my grandfather's mother. My grandfather was born in 1937 🙂
Came to US from Punjab. God knows how much i love this country now. It's been 15 years and 7 cars i owned and will own only ford. Had 2 mustangs and believe me how free you feel while driving it. I think that's true american car vibe i.e ford.
Ford is a great vehicle. I have been driving them since 1975.
Try some other makes as well. Life is too short to only drive fords. If you care about cars anyway
Glad to hear that u are living the American dream and love this country. It's good to hear these days. I miss my mustang , I wish I'd never traded it in, but I'm still a Ford guy I have an F-150 and a focus. Good luck to you brother!
@@Marco-fi6gv yeah! My uncle says mustangs never get old.
@Mario S. So is everyone else, smh. It's a global economy. They have to compete. But they do still make vehicles here anyway, but they also need to stay in business. If they go out of business they'll employ zero American workers
Scotty, somehow I missed your video of how FORD started out with his company that did so much for so many people and his clever inventions which included his friendship with some very talented engineers/inventions. I dad actually started school at a community college learning how to work on Fords back in the 1960’s. Although he always had his hands on experience with every car he ever had. My dad owned a 1958 4 door T Bird. It was black. None of us would have dreamed of keeping it for a collection for future generations. Thank you for bringing us along for the history of how Henry Ford and what he accomplished during his life time.👍
Scotty, my 2013 Ford Mustang has NEVER needed a single repair. I have had to replace the tires and battery, do oil changes and filter changes and tire rotations. My BMW 3-series, my Chevy Blazer and my Hyundai Velostar (worst. car. ever.) practically needed at least one repair every six months (from buying NEW!). This V6 Ford Mustang has made me very happy. Even though it only had a 3 year warranty, I never needed it. My Hyundai had a 10 year warranty - because it needs it! So, when its' time to buy a new car, which manufacturer you think I'm going to pick next?
Toyota
Definitely McLaren
I drive an '06 Fiesta, so guess who gets to drive the family around when their cars break down! 😂😂. The biggest issue I've ever had in mine was some of the plastic parts under the bonnet breaking after about 14 Years of use...
Same with my wifes 1997 Camaro V6
I have a v6 mustang 2014 so far this correct but mustang stereo is defect and sucks
They really are leading edge and you did an amazing job telling the story in such detail. Loved watching Scotty!
Coukdnt disagree more on ‘leading edge’ . They no longer honor the word ‘quality’- and if ‘tough’ is what they consider their product now- the only adjective I can think of is ‘overpriced’
False. Ford hasn't been the leading edge of anything other than crappy manufacturing for 80+ years.
Much respect for Henry ford . I only drive ford , best value
I'm not from the states but i own a ford Mondeo/Fusion and owned a Fiesta a few years ago, at first i was afraid of them because everyone said they are unreliable, now i had my Mondeo for 3 years now and it's never been touched by a mechanic since, except for oil changes and transmission fluid changes, same with the Fiesta.
Looks like they forgot about the whole affordability thing with their trucks.
That's not just Ford... The price of any truck is getting out of hand.
Accurate.. so expensive!
Work harder, work smarter if you want expensive and nice vehicles. If you don’t want to, then Hyundai keeps elantras in stock just for you.
@@poopstain5216 or you could just buy a used truck
Overall a better value for money though. Of course you can get cheaper trucks, cheaper parts, cheaper build, just cheaper...if you want cheap. Premium product=premium price, it's not a new concept, people just expect more for less.
Not going to lie, I'm a Ford man. I've had many different brands over the years, but I keep going back to Ford.
I’m a mix between Ford and Chevrolet. Chevrolet has a lot of good performance cars too. Good luck ever blowing up an LT1.
I saw this guy with a massive Toyota tundra with a massive American flag on the back. I asked him “couldn’t even buy American, huh?” He looked at me all confused and then he realized lol
@@jivet3919 he was confused because that Tundra is 100% made in the USA employing thousands of American workers. Toyota doesn't even sell that in Japan
cassmanio Toyota making one truck here is not a big deal. They are still a Japanese company who has a unionized workforce in Japan but not in the US.
@@jivet3919 that could be, but all car companies are truly global nowadays.
Think I may have mentioned before, I'd rather perform dental surgery on myself than raise a wrench to any car.
But Scotty's offering a hellovalot more than car sense.
Very well done buddy!
You've gotta do more of these Scooty. Loved every minute of it and your voice is perfect for it.
@Tony hello,how are you doing
The model T is pretty good at going off-road
Had to be. Some roads were not so smooth.
In the early days , model Ts traveled over roads/goat paths that would be impassable by most cars today, first mass produced S U V, go Ford !!!!
Scotty is da' man yo. Young engineers and do it yourselfers are all happy you do this for us. Thank you Nelson.
Scotty this is amazing! I love hearing ur voice explaining car history. It goes together like peanut butter and jelly.
I usually enjoy your content, but this video is a whole new level of premium entertainment. Great job with this one!
Fantastic Video Scotty .... A+++
Being raised in the Motor city, and the son of big shot in the tire industry during the 60's I can vouch for your accuracy and authenticity and ENJOYED it thoroughly.
"Ranger" is also a breed of horse, aka, Colorado Ranger. Pretty darned rare.
Why the Mustang was so special, and was the reason the military chose the name and Ford also did. was that the name meant a horse or horse's. that were undemesticated, running in the wild, free, strong, and fast. a real symbol of strength it was an obvious choice.
Damn good documentary Scotty .
I'm a honda car guy but i just got an F250 and i absolutely love it
I love when you do these types of episodes Scotty , out of the park brother!
Spectacular!
I don't think the History Channel, or the Science Channel could do any better. I was fully interested the entire time of the video!
Excellent job!
Wow wasn't expecting a full 34 minute documentary. Nice job Scotty!
I love my 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis... Scotty liked it enough to make a video out of it too!
Hello, fellow Grand Marquis afficianado! Best. Car. Ever. My first was a 1989 LS that my wife and I, newly married 23 year olds, drove 3000 miles from Ohio to Montana for our honeymoon. Nobody else my age was driving one, and my siblings were merciless with their barbs. I didn't care. It was like riding a couch all the way across the United States. I've had two others since then, and I'll get another when the current one dies. SUV's and FWD drivetrains are for everyone else. For those of us with taste and an appropriate regard for naturally aspirated V8's, there are Grand Marquis. Keep on keeping on!
Isn't the Grand Marquis actually a Lincoln Town Car? And a Ford Crown Victoria?
A 30 minute video on Ford, this is great!
honestly these are amazing videos... i wish scotty made more like this about cars and the manufacturers who made them and its just awesome history you dont really learn anywhere other than videos like this.... and scotty is smart great to listen too and you can tell these video took time.... research... and love of cars in order to make these.... i could only imagine the time it takes to put this type of video together but i personally appreciate it because like i said there really is no where to watch stuff like this other than RUclips and or i guess trying to hunt down car shows on random TV subscription channels but that can be ruff.... thanks again scotty hope to see more history style videos like this... love learning about the history of car companies
I enjoy your videos Scotty ,thanks. My first vehicle I learnt to drive was my Mum & Dad's Fordson Major. I was told Ford stole the Ferguson system and fitted it to his tractor, and grew fields of hemp for fuel and car materials, well before it was illegal.
I live in Dearborn mi, I’ve been to Henry Ford house on his estate in Dearborn Michigan it’s located by the university of Michigan and I’ve actually seen his personal garage and I’ve seen Henry Ford wifes electric car. Plus Henry actually had a bowling ally in his basement it was pretty cool to see his estate espiaclly the water fall on the river rouge it’s small but still cool to look at and think 100 years ago Henry Ford was there
@Ghetto Peasant I know an easy way to boost that
Isn’t Dearborn Mi pretty much a Somali Muslim town now? Henry Ford would be horrified
@Bill Randall *yes, but he wasn't alone. Margaret Sanger did as well and wrote books. Hitler really appreciated her writings and incorporated it in his country. Margaret Sanger founded America's Planned Parenthood. She hoped to reduce the black population. For some reason the Democratic Party loves Planned Parenthood.*
My great grandfather was in his 80’s out fishing one morning & just happened to start up a conversation with another old timer. Amazingly they had worked side by side as young men at Henry Ford’s car manufacturing place in Chicago.
I have been a ford lover since i was a kid in the 50s... this is the best video from you or anyone showing a comprehensive history of Ford and i am truly grateful. I love your channel and have learned so much but i really love this video and your ability to relate the story of a company that America can be proud of. Thank You, Scotty.
Apparently you never grew up...
Next video: why macho men buy Chrysler's
Proceeds to explain how they constantly need to be seen working on their car.
@Shorty great exercise
Grandpa says Mopar or No Car
or why the 426 hemi dominated NASCAR and the NHRA
@@d.s7741 The 426 hemi was great. And that version didn't have poor-oiling issues that the current one has.
@@townhall05446 im sorry but the 345 hemi and the 392 hemi are both great engines. The 426 hellephant is incredible. The first mass produced crate engine to surpass 1000 hp. Dodge is actually at the top right now. They have the least amount of problems per 100 cars of any manufacturer and that includes toyota and chevy.
Just amazing - well presented. An important message today about AFFORDABLE transportation for folks like the ones building the cars, and electric also being right there too fighting for really the most affordable and practical.
EXCELLENT!!! I am a huge Ford customer... thanks Scotty. BTW I am worried about the Kilmer's Garage channel... what happened???
thanks, and it merged on here
@@scottykilmer oh ok.. Thanks a lot. It's an honor. I am so happy for your reply... :D
Scotty Kilmer your going to get a lot of fans ask this question over the months of you posting new videos might as well make a video about why you merged I think is a good idea
Anthony Barbosa excellent. I agree. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
I love fords , my mechanic shop wouldn’t be in business without fords.
Ian Azzarelli Chrysler is worse
If it makes you feel better it is better than gm
Lol so true Ian
I’ve been a master mechanic for 30+ years
Just go by a Ford service department.
But out of the big 3 American brands I have to admit I would take a Ford
Everybody wins!
They are junk the only domestic company thats worse is Chrysler!
R J yes I understand that
I was also a Ford factory trained technician and a diesel technician in Houston Texas for many years and I am still in the industry.
Most of the vehicles I see in the service department are not in for regular service
There is a separate part of most shops for maintenance and most have a designated quick lube section as well.
What I see most recently are turbo failures left and right on all ecoboost engines, transmission issues, evaporators leaking, overheating issues and a ton of sunroof failure on all the trucks (very expensive) and a ton of diesel issues on the three quarter and one ton trucks.
That doesn’t even include the broken spark plugs in the older 3 valve engines and the cam phaser issues. But being a tech I know how to do all these repairs
Like I mentioned earlier out of all domestics I would still pick a Ford
Im the original owner of a 2000 f150 4.2l with 241,000 miles on it an I just replaced the original fuel pump after 21yrs THATS WHAT YOU CALL QUALITY
For. For
Off. On
Road. Road
Driving. Drag racing
This is an amazing story, and I appreciate the time you spent making it. It is a truly incredible history
This feels like history class taught the right way
Imagine History class like this. I might have payed attention.
Very good history lesson. The only thing Scotty left out was Henry Ford's support of Hitler in WW2.
It is kind of surprising that none of the hollywood studios haven't hired some of the great youtube presenters. Scotty, Indy Neidell, The History Guy, all do a better job than the people seen on TV these days.
My first car (as old as me) was a 67’ Ford Mustang, my latest car is going to be a Bronco. I’ve always thought Ford to be as an American as you could get. Still built in Michigan.
Mine's built in Missouri 👍
0:16 coupe that goes off road in 1900s...didn't realize model T could do it, able to go off a drop at that distance
This video was absolutely awesome! I'd love to see more like this! A new binge series on Netflix perhaps? 🤔 😂
Loved the video and having grown up with a father whose now retired from Ford and a brother close to retirement it gave me a better understanding of the company that I work for. Yes, I work for Ford too and love that they provide a living for me and my wife. Only one gripe, it would have been nice to see the big union strike in the video, but other than that it was really well made. Very good job.
I’ve owned 2 Fords in my life and didn’t have much luck with either. A 1984 Tempo, and a 1988 Thunderbird Super Coupe with. Supercharged V6 and 5 speed manual.
I have a 3.0 duratec v6 flexfuel very reliable motor ,Ford did fantastic job
The 80's were NOT a good time for Ford.
The Shield mine had issue from the start , oil leak, power steering pump leak, any parts needed were never in stock. With the oil leak I can vividly recall how upset the dealer mechanic was trying to fix it, yelling “ these damn engineers and Fords better ideas, they should have to bring their assess down here and try and work on them sometime!” 😆
You somehow picked two of the worst Fords ever.
@@Charliefox71
mustangs sure were popular in the 80s. 5.0 litre V 8s n the ford mustang svo ( 4 cyl turbo) along with lincoln town car , Ltd crown vic.....nice land yachts with a lot of power.
My first vehicle i bought was a used ford e350 super duty
Edit: I only buy toyotas and fords now
The van life huh?
@@XploreAz basically. Sleep in a van, working as an independent expiditer, buy and sell stocks in stocks weekly, and invest in realestate part time. Thats the 100k life

In 1925 the price fell to $260.00, that’s equivalent to $3,125.00 today(2020)…

I really enjoyed this one Scotty
Scotty thank you for that thumbnail history lesson. Much appreciated.
This video was freakin' great, much love from South Africa! ❤️
Excellent, Scotty! Thank you for putting this all together, and for doing it so well.
Scotty!
Excellent video! Clever use of facts, humor, history and incredible backstory. Thanks for your good work.
Wow that was really put together good it wasn't just a video of you talking you have little clips and pictures of Henry Ford in there and details I mean that was like professionally done something I would watch on the History Channel nice video
This was really good. Too bad Discovery and History Channel are now all "reality" tv .
@@rvrmdude I know amen brother
@@rvrmdude Maybe it’s time to cut the cord?
I've had 4 Ford trucks:
A 1968 f100, a 78 f150, a 79 f150 and a95 f150. I've also had a gmc, a Nissan and a Mitsubishi. Never had a dodge truck but have had 3 dodge vans and 3 or 4 dodge cars.
Personally, I consider Ford trucks, especially 1995 ish and before, to be the gold standard in trucks.
Just my opinion.
P.S. I read somewhere a few years ago that the 'preferred vehicle' of most millionaires in America, was the 1/2 ton Ford pickup.
That being the case I figured that I had the truck so now all I need is the money.
Love that new Mach e. Glad Henry Ford's vision came true after 120 years.
This the best story telling ever. You need to do more of them.
Terrific video documentary!
Love watching and learning!
Award winning graphics and narration. Perfect video!
Good job Scotty they should use this to teach kids in school... love from Detroit
Wow Scotty! I loved watchin this Ford documentary! Great production quality on it.
Real Americans buy Ford because the company represents the future of personal transportation. I hope Ford never stops innovating and I can't wait to see what they innovate next.
Brilliant engineer and businessman. Thank you Scotty! I will remember William Klann.
Haven't watched anything packed with info like this video in a while, thanks Scotty for reminding me that learning can be awesome! Especially the way you do your videos👍👍
Love this video sir. I'm not a Ford guy myself but brings a nice perspective into the industry's development. Thank you. Now I kinda like Ford's more
Always a Japanese vehicle fan, had Toyota Honda and Subaru. Just bought my first Ford, a 2020 F-250 7.3L gas. Hope Ford doesn’t let me down. 100% built in Kentucky.
John Dodge made improvements to the design of the engine for Henry's quadricycle before it went into production.
@Howard hello,how are you doing
When are you going to make the video about Tucker? It's an interesting story of how the big ones stopped him from success.
coming right up!
Yes Imma waiting on that one ! Come on Scotty 🤔 Trucker deserves Some Recognition.
@@jimmysapien9961 I said Tucker not Trucker as in Preston Tucker.
@@scottykilmer My late uncle tried to tell me that the Tucker was just built on the Oldsmobile chassis. Fortunately my town in Indiana has a Tucker on display, you can walk right up to it, and my uncle saw first hand that the Tucker was not a re-bodied Olds.

"Why do real Americans buy Ford?" 34 minutes later, and Scotty still hasn't answered his own question.
Most Americans can't realistically afford a new car anymore. 😆
Mca5517d Mca5517d reading is fundamental, yet you haven’t learned how.
Dealer and service network in rural America. Even though you typically only get a year warranty, there are a lot of people that only trust the dealer based service department.
Major cities have lots of brand dealers, but many small towns and rural counties only have one or two new truck/car dealerships. Ford (most), Chevy then Dodge.
Trucks are the cornerstone of those sales, but to move cars they are forced to take, the rural dealerships will often sell economy cars under cost to move them and help win factory incentives that help the dealer survive. Smart city car buyers often go out to the rural dealer to get a better car deal and pay less sales tax. They can still get their warranty work done at CarCity Ford.
Getting out of the economy and police sized sedan business will change things...
However as more and more first tier companies are dropping sedans.... Then Ford has the biggest truck dealership network still.
@Jeff Oliver Makes sense. He's from Niagra Falls. He also wasn't saying he buys Fords.
@@STho205 Most of those dealerships use aftermarket parts for repairs too. They buy many parts from local parts suppliers (NAPA, PepBoys etc), vehicle manufacturers don't make common parts like calipers, starters, solenoids etc. The companies that make the dealer's parts also make the same OEM for the aftermarket, which dealerships often use because of cost and availability.
This is a jewel. My liitle son had a Henry Ford assignment. I directed him here and his assignment came out beautiful. 😃
Great job Scotty. Very informative, you covered lots of information and did it in a way most anybody can understand. Thank you sir.
Scotty, that's a great TV-worthy documentary! Loved it! Keep it up!
Great video Scotty! Love the videos. Love my Fords. I’ve owned 2 old Ford escorts, 1 Mustang, owned two F150’s and currently own a 2021 F150 and a 2021 Ford Explorer ST. Best bang for the buck. BTW very cool Canadian Toronto connection. I’m a 15 min ride from there
0:37 Ford shooting the cameraman dead is priceless.
From short tips and car tutorials to History and really interesting/helpful info! Keep it up Scott! Love your videos! (Subscribed)
Just bought a 2008 used ford taurus for 1600 & its so quiet 🤫 & there were somethings that weren't working like both front door handles didn't work but my husband fixed it with just a couple zipties & the front seat back adjuster doesn't work & AC doesn't work but thats literally it...I never had a ford before but thank God I didn't go back to Nissan ✌
Well written Scotty. This is informative, interesting, and paced just right. Thank you.
Best video you’ve ever done Scotty... keep these coming buddy
I have owned 3 Volkswagens to the 250,000 mile mark. No Failures and any of them other than one radiator. But you must keep up with the service schedule and be very proactive with maintenance. Can't ignore them!
Actually at one point Ford had wanted to build his town in northern Alabama, and while the town still holds his name...from looking at Detroit maybe it was a good thing lol.
@Celebrity Superstar lol what does that even mean...
Yeah but if you got a job at ford you would have to move to alabama. Who the hell wants to live in alabama 😂. There is a reason why alabama doesn’t have any professional sports team.
@@ignignokt-6050 lol yea, pro sports teams or dilapidated buildings and crime through the roof, never cared much for Alabama myself but I do think Alabama and Auburn both seem to do fairly well in college sports, but let's face it, the Detroit Lion's are far from a professional team lol.
That was Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Look at the street names in Highland Park, Michigan where Ford's headquarters were at the time, and look at the street names in Muscle Shoals.
@@kroll41271 yea, just outside of there is an area called Ford City that actually had been invested in, think there are even still poured sidewalks that are basically out of place where he had originally planned to develop for workers and for utilizing the river.
Scotty, sir you are a treasure. This was extremely well done. Love your content. In Indianapolis, Indiana.
I bought a 2017 super duty, it’s been a great truck and I haven’t regretted it.
If Henry ford knew what was going on with the high prices of his cars , he would be rolling in his grave.
@Bobby Knuckles h-yea they "were" tanks (made to last) , the tow truck had to choke his tires and pull (untill the wire was straight with his front wheels off the ground) to pull my dads 71 Lincoln continental stuck with only 1 tire in a ditch . A Tank for sure!
The first aFORDable V-8. Big difference.
70s lincoln continental , 80s lincoln mark 4 lsc. town car , Ltd crown vic , Ford the king of V 8 land yachts.
Last time I checked, there were quite a few ford's you could buy new that had a starting price between 18 and 30k, while somewhat expensive, that's by no means an absurd amount for a brand new car. I know people are gonna say, wow, if I tick every options box the car gets expensive but my reaction to that is, of dug. Modern cars are more expensive, but they represent a better value. More powerful, efficient, reliable and safe for a price increase of a few thousand compared to cars from a decade ago. That's not terrible.
kinda makes you wonder why the auto manufacturers can't make a "real car" for the average working man. You can tell the people who struggle by the "throw away" cars that you see on our public roadways
Edison was notorious for stealing ideas from other "less known" inventors, such as Tesla. Not sure he deserves that much credit. Otherwise great vid again!
Edison is known for stealing patents and bully individuals into selling them their invention for cheap
Didn't he work in the Patent Office? hmmmmmm,
The tale as old as time. It wasnt about who invented what and when. The guy with more money sued you until you couldn't afford a lawyer and you lost.
I agree . Edison 's REAL talent was stealing ideas .
They say the same thing against his enemies and competitors.
That was a really great, interesting and informative video!! Good job!!
love these vids from you!
thank you!
I love your vids scotty! I am currently getting into mechanics and am a apprentice at a shop and all your videos help me more and more into the car world...thank you they really help me in more ways than one! Much love and happiness brother...
The history of Ford is super interesting. At its peak, it was the most complex and comprehensive assembly line ever. But that proved too cumbersome to change: one of the inspirations for how companies do manufacturing still today.
These are super well done
