On 1 July, in an improvised factory in a converted wool store, the first Australian-built Ford vehicle was completed: a Model T. The Model T Ford, launched in the USA in 1908, revolutionised motoring. The first car affordable enough to reach a mass market, it was tough, reliable and easy to maintain. Its low price was partly due to Henry Ford’s adoption of the moving assembly line. This car represented the beginning of the North American company’s century-long presence in Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe company built a permanent Geelong factory that produced various models over the years, and in 1956 opened a second complex in Broadmeadows, which became its headquarters in 1961. Ford manufacturing in Australia ended in 2016. Ford Australia continues to lead design and development of the Ranger utility and Everest SUV models, and imports vehicles for Australian buyers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe coin’s reverse presents an illustration of the Ford Model T.
