After the World War II, he was dealing with Italian Fiat to produce tractor in Turkey. In 1959, he was manufacturing Ford trucks in Otosan. In 1960, Otosan started to manufacture Ford Consul cars in its assembly line and  240 Ford Taunus 17M estate cars have been produced within 1963-1965.  And it was the right time for a national car. In 1966, Turkey’s car park was 91.000 and yearly car sales were between 2.000 and 3.000 level. Koc went to US to meet with the upper management of Ford Motor Company.

Koc was not convinced by these advises. However, he was very well aware about the automotive investment.
