(now Windsor) with eight employees. In the first year of operaâ€" tion, 17 workers â€" who were paid a total of $12,000 â€" produced 114 cars. By HOWARD MOZEL Oakville Beaver Staff ; ord of Canada may be the offâ€" F spring of its American parent _ _ company, but after 90 years in operation the automaker has proven it doesn‘t take a backseat to anybody. "In 90 years we have progressed from building Model Cs in a convertâ€" ed wagon works to producing the next generation of minivans, the Ford Windstar, and engine components for Ford‘s first global vehicles in worldâ€" class plants," says Ford of Canada president and CEO Mark Hutchins. During its more humble beginâ€" nings, Gordon Morton McGregor (the father of the Canadian automotive industry) was operating a wagon factoâ€" ry when he heard about Henry Ford‘s new business across the river in Detroit. Despite a general public skepâ€" In 1994, Ford of Canada assembles the same number of cars and trucks in about 40 minutes while its 14,500 employees will generate a payroll of more than $1 billion. (The company set up shop in Oakville in 1952.) Assembly Plant closed for three months, 475,000 vehicles rolled off the line. In 1995, Matthews estimates that number will top 600,000. "I believe our vision of growth has indeed been achieved," Matthews said, SPACE AGE SHELVING ) (Continued from page 1) ticism about the future of the automoâ€" bile, McGregor, then only 31, raised $125,000 and Ford of Canada was off and running. Still, it was a struggle, with McGregor splitting his time running the plant and acting as sales manager while trying to attract investors. One time he heard of a Windsor businessâ€" man who inherited $5,000 and told him with that kind of money he could purchase 4% of the company‘s stock. adding that Ford captured 21.5% of the Canadian car and truck market in the first half of 1994. ‘"I have been waiting a long time to report these kinds of numâ€" bers to you and it sure makes me feel good." Ford of Canada employees Clark Phillips and Sandy Notarianni took a trip back in time on top of a Ford Model C, the 21st car built by Ford of Canada.

Today, 4% of Ford of Canada stock would be worth more than $50 million with millions more in dividends. exemplified than by Director of Dealer Affairs Cole Taylor, who joined Ford in 1950 and is now the oldest member of management. Appropriately, he was master of ceremonies for Wednesday‘s celebration. Ford of Canada‘s senior manageâ€" ment could not make it, however, since many were in Boston for the 1995 New Model Introduction. They did film a video greeting, though, that was flown in special the day before. In it, Ford of Canada president and CEO Mark Hutchins plus other members of his team offered a pepâ€"talk and history lesâ€" son which reinforced the day‘s theme of leadership and growth. With the new Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique â€" plus 16 other new and reâ€"designed vehicles coming in the next 36 months â€" Hutchins said Ford is setting the stage for a tremendous year Any day of the week.
