I think he would be proud as long as he was in charge and was getting his share of the profit. Back in Mr Ford's day there were Ford factories in lots of foreign countries.

I think he would turn in his Grave if he knew how complicated the modern car has become Computers airbags etc !!! and all it does is go down the road just like the Model T or A did !!! The days when anybody can repair a car with a screwdriver and a pair of plyers are long gone !!!

Of course he would be very pleased that another Milestone has been reached 350 Million . He allways put on a bit of a fanfare for the Milestone cars.

Also Ford is still a World car like it was in the Model T days he would have been proud of that .
Just my Opinion

It is Cologne Germany, and we did the engine in the good old U.S. in Dearborn Michigan. I worked on this project.

Ford has reached an uncommon manufacturing landmark. A Ford Focus, constructed in one of its Asian plants, was the 350 millionth car manufactured in the automaker's 109 years. A Thai-built Ford Focus is number 350 million. A further testament to the One Ford plan, the Focus is built in all of Ford’s major production regions globally. The One Ford plan will allow it to make 8 million cars a year by 2015.
