Artifact Overview

Ford Motor Company operated sales branches and assembly plants in cities around the world. The company's factory in Asnieres, France, opened near Paris in 1925. Ford cars sold reasonably well in France, but the company faced strong competition from French automakers Citroen, Renault, and Peugeot. The Asnieres plant was sold in 1941 as Ford's French operations were consolidated at Poissy.
