Though several automakers have celebrated their centenary recently, most haven't been around that long. Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford) has, though, and not only that, it's been in the UK for 100 years, too. The Blue Oval has set to staging a series of celebrations to mark the occasion, culminating in the Ford Centenary Tour traversing the British Isles.
The celebratory road trip started in London last week and will end on September 18 at the Goodwood Revival, but on its way, it swung through Glasgow, Scotland, where Ford commissioned a group of artists to repaint the Focus (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/focus) in their own style.
The six graffiti artists affiliated with the Recoat Gallery installed themselves in downtown Glasgow and repainted the car in front of a gathering crowd. In case you missed it, you can check it out in our own gallery and read about the artists in the press release after the jump (http://www.mnfords.com/2011/08/25/ford-takes-art-to-the-street-with-focus-in-glasgow/#continued).Continue reading Ford takes art to the street with Focus in Glasgow (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/08/25/ford-takes-art-to-the-street-with-focus-in-glasgow/)
