Ford were the first to put it all together and do the whole thing from rocks and dust on a boat right through to a car rolling out the parking lot at the other end, all on one site.

Ford don't claim to have invented either the car or production lines, well at least the rouge plant tour didn't. Obama on the other hand, well enough said.

River Rouge is an amazing concept. I toured the place in 1973. Raw materials coming in one end, and cars out the other!

Do these nuggets not realise that it was we Scots who invented EVERYTHING???

Did you know that Henry Ford was a notorist Nazi supporter and published a book called; "The International Jew- Europe's Foremost problem"?

Hitler supposedly idiolised the man to the extent where he had a life-sized portrait in his office. Pair of fugging twunts.

I wonder what he'd think of Obama singing his praises.

When I first started selling cars in 1983, there was a generation of customers that would refuse to buy anything German or Japanese, due to the war, yet they were quite happy to buy a Ford. But every now & then, I would come across old soldiers who were quite happy to buy German or Japanese, but there was absolutely no way they would have a Ford. Over the years I have come across quite a few of the older generation with this view.

NOPE!! The first accredited production line goes to a steam traction engine manufacturer in Norfolk (can't remember the name dammit!)in the mid to late 1800s.. Ford DID however do it first on a large scale!

Nope! The Royal Navy shipyards approx 300+ years ago implemented the first production lines.

Mass prodcution of the blocks for rigging?

bit more recent wasn't it (but earlier than the traction engine)?

Yup. I think they applied it to other processes too.

He'll be telling us next that they invented powered flight.

Same old, same old. They claim to have invented/done everything, yet their biggest export is indigestion. "I'm loving it".

You invented Gordon Brown, you should be very ashamed of yourself.

First cornish pasty production line was in 623AD, Sire G'Nstar (pronounced Gin Star) was the person who commanded the slaves to pick, then peel the potatoes, while his wife Mistress G'Nstar culled the cattle and cooked the meat.

This was a process used until the advent of electric in Cornwall in Feb 1992.

Gotta love these threads.....

Did Britain have a motor industry? If so, what became of it?

We stopped bailing them out with billions from central government.

Correct - mass production of ships blocks in Woolwich, IIRC.

Half-tempted to boycott Ford on this basis myself but I suppose that would just be ridiculous nowadays! The idea of having his name on my car would genuinely piss me off though TBH.

Of all of the worlds car manufacturers, if anyone was going to boycott one as some sort of 'moral imperative' Ford would be at the top of the list. Not just because of the war either. Plenty of stuff on the web as to why.

I watched an embedded video on a different thread and was shocked to find Barrack Obama saying that Usa invented the car presumably in reference to the bail outs of GM and the like, it's on the video at 0:31 secs on (if I manage to link it correctly as I'm a bit computer inept)

Video

Edited to add that this is not an April fool joke
