When Ted Ryan was offered the position of Brand Heritage Manager at Ford, he was intrigued but initially hesitant. It wasn't that he lacked interest in cars: his father was a true enthusiast who owned classic Mustang and Lincoln models. His father and best friend had tried to convince Ryan that the automotive world was full of amazing stories. This is reported by Autocar.co.uk reports .
However, Ryan initially resisted the offer. At the time, he was working at Coca-Cola and, referring to his previous role, replied: "I have Santa Claus and polar bears." He was in no hurry to link his rich experience to the automotive industry.
Today, Ted Ryan manages Ford's vast archive. It houses the brand's decades of development, blueprints of legendary models, and unique documents related to company founder Henry Ford. His task is not only to preserve the past but to create a historical foundation for Ford's future strategy.
Every exhibit in the archive reflects Ford's position in the global automotive market and its technological evolution. Ted Ryan now understands well that cars are not just pieces of metal, but an integral part of human culture.
