It is Ford Heritage Month and AG Automobiles, exclusive dealers of Ford Motor Company is celebrating Ford Motors’ 111th Anniversary during this month of June. To celebrate this auspicious occasion, the Ford 3s centre at Abdullahpur, Uttara has been transformed into a Ford history exhibition gallery where customers and guests can revisit the early days of Ford Motor Company and learned about the vision of Henry Ford and the company he started that “put the world on wheels”.
One hundred and eleven years ago, on June 16, 1903, Henry Ford and 11 original investors signed incorporation papers to form Ford Motor Company, starting with a dream, $28,000 in cash, some blue prints and tools. Globally Ford cars set the standards in terms of safety, innovation, fuel efficiency and performance.
As a part of the heritage month, AG Automobiles is also organizing an event ‘Night at the Movies’ on 21st June. The objective is to showcase Ford’s rich history on the silver screen. Putting a spotlight on the company’s iconic role in films over the decades, Night at the Movies brought Ford fans together in Bangladesh.
Fan and enthusiasts will have a chance to learn about Ford heritage and its place in pop culture, win various prizes and, of course, watch a movie, featuring the most famous Ford vehicles. From James Bond’s “Goldfinger” to Steve McQueen’s “Bullitt” and most recently, with the blockbuster hit “Need for Speed,” Ford Motor Company’s vehicles have made appearances in thousands of films, TV shows and songs.
“Our Heritage Month celebrations give us the opportunity every year to rally around and appreciate the many industry-shaping contributions that Ford Motor Company has made throughout our history,” said Hossain Khaled, Managing Director, AG Automobiles Ltd, in a statement.
David Westerman, Managing Director, Asia Pacific, Ford Export & Growth Operations, said in an official statement “AG Automobiles will come up with more attractive Ford Model in the coming days and set hype in the Bangladeshi automobile Market.
