For me Ford has a LONG history of FAIRNESS that my father experienced around 1950. He was a self-employed inventor who had just invented and patented vehicle spring suspensions that prevented nose-dive when braking and rear squatting when accelerating. Ford willingly paid a fair royalty to use the design. General Motors and Chrysler did not treat him with the same respect and fairness, but I will skip the details to avoid backlash. Because of that, and Ford’s safety emphasis in 1956, we are a Ford family to this day. I experienced the same fair policies as an employee of Ford of Canada.
