At South Auckland Motors, we recently took a moment to celebrate the birthday of the man who helped shape the automotive industry as we know it – Henry Ford.

Our team gathered together to celebrate what would have been Henry Ford's 163rd birthday, complete with a special birthday cake and plenty of smiles. It was a great opportunity to recognise the incredible legacy of the founder of the Ford Motor Company and reflect on how his vision continues to influence the vehicles we drive today.

Henry Ford transformed the automotive industry by making vehicles more accessible to everyday families through innovative manufacturing methods. More than a century later, Ford continues to lead the way with a range of vehicles that combine innovation, capability and technology, from the iconic Ranger and Everest through to the Mustang and Transit range.

As a proud Ford dealership, we're honoured to represent a brand with such a rich history and strong reputation for quality, reliability and innovation. Celebrating milestones like Henry Ford's birthday is a reminder of the heritage behind every Ford vehicle and the people who have helped shape its success over the years.

A big thank you to our team for joining in the celebrations. We look forward to continuing to help our customers across Auckland find the right Ford for their lifestyle while carrying on the legacy that Henry Ford began more than 130 years ago.

If you're thinking about your next vehicle, we'd love to welcome you into South Auckland Motors in Manukau, Botany or Pukekohe to explore the latest Ford range.
