Henry Ford had invented the brand 'Fordson' (from Henry Ford and Son) for his new Tractor factory after leaving the Ford Motor Company in 1917. Back at the helm in 1919, Henry Ford transferred Tractor production to Cork and then to Dagenham, and Ford commercial vehicles started to be built in Britain as 'Fordson' until 1939. After 1965 Ford commercials were simply badged as 'Ford'.
