Ford: White Rabbit in Motion

There is a widely circulated saying on the Internet: Henry Ford himself loves small animals, and the Ford logo is a jumping white rabbit, especially the top horizontal shape of F that looks like a long rabbit ear. Coincidentally, Ford was born in the Year of the Rabbit.

1903 was the Year of the Rabbit, and on June 16 of that year, Henry Ford officially founded the Ford Motor Company. Henry Ford has already tried twice to start a business in the automotive field, and this time he will create a global automotive empire.

Ford Model A

In 2023, Ford has already gone through two armors and contributed countless classic models to the world.

More importantly, Ford introduced assembly lines into automobile production, contributing modern and efficient production methods to the automotive industry. It can be said that Ford brought cars into thousands of households and officially entered the era of rolling wheels.

The greatest car of the 20th century – the Ford Model T

Unfortunately, the widely circulated claim that the car logo is a white rabbit has no historical basis.

Ford's current handwritten Ford signature logo body was introduced in 1909, and the design was slightly different then.

Today's font form appeared a few years later, and there have been no major changes since then. The part that resembled a rabbit's ear was interpreted by the people of the time as wings rather than ears.

And at that time, this signature was not white, and the oval logo with white characters on a blue background was going to appear in the 20s of the last century.

I wanted to find out which of Ford's classic models were born in the Year of the Rabbit, but I found that the years when Ford launched new cars perfectly missed every rabbit year in history. There is a connection with important products: Ford's greatest model, the Model T, was discontinued in 1927, the year of the rabbit.

Other car companies belonging to rabbits

Volvo

1927 Ding Bunny

1927 is the Year of the Rabbit. On April 14 of that year, the first Volvo car was born. Volvo's first product was called the ÖV 4, which was a bit sloppy to be honest. Because this is a convertible, selling this in the cold Nordics is obviously not a good idea.

Like Ford, Volvo's new car release perfectly missed every year of the rabbit. Only in the Year of the Rabbit in 1975, the P1800S model was released. In the Guinness Book of Records, it is a Volvo P1800S that holds the car driving record.

And in 1999, the last year of the rabbit of the last century, Volvo sold itself to Ford. The two brands of the rabbit were combined in one year of the rabbit.

Lamborghini

1963 Decay Rabbit

Although when we think of Lamborghini, the first animal we think of is probably cows. But this super sports brand with fierce appearance and personality was born in the Year of the Soft Rabbit.

In May 1963, Lamborghini founder Ferruccio Lamborghini founded Lamborghini, according to Wild History, it was Mr. Ferruccio, who was in the tractor business himself, in order to compete with Ferrari. At the Turin Motor Show in October of the same year, Lamborghini unveiled its first creation, the 350 GTV concept.

Guess what? Like the previous two, Lamborghini does not have the habit of issuing new cars every year...

Is there a Chinese rabbit? Yes!

In 1963, the same year that Lamborghini was born, an automobile company was born in Zhengzhou, Henan, the Netherlands. This small factory, which was born in March, is called the Zhengzhou Automobile Repair Factory of the Henan Provincial Department of Communications. In December of the same year, it produced its first product, the JT660 bus.

Now, this small business in Zhengzhou is called Yutong. It is the largest bus enterprise in China and deserves to be the leader of the bull.

Yutong is also a spotlight, an enterprise that has quietly raised the height of Chinese automobile brands, and now Yutong has become a well-known brand in overseas markets.

That's it for today~
