No. Henry Ford was the founder of Ford Motor Company. Gerald R. Ford was the only president who never was elected to office. He took office after Nixon resigned.

Hnery Ford was the founder of the Ford Motor Company, and is long since dead. One of his descendent, William Clay Ford is currently CEO of Ford Motor Company. I am not sure that any member of the Ford family ever held the title of President with that company, and I know none of them were active in national politics.
The former US President, Gerald Ford, who recently died and is currently lying in state in the Capitol building, was not related to the Ford family of car fame (as far as I know, and was ever made public). The Ford name is fairly common, and there is actually a guy who lives near me namded Gerald Ford, just like the President.

No.
Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 – April 7, 1947) was the founder of the Ford Motor Company and father of modern assembly lines used in mass production. His introduction of the Model T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry. He was a prolific inventor and was awarded 161 U.S. patents. As sole owner of the Ford Company he became one of the richest and best-known people in the world. He is credited with "Fordism", that is, the mass production of large numbers of inexpensive automobiles using the assembly line, coupled with high wages for his workers—notably the $5.00 a day pay scale adopted in 1914. Ford, though poorly educated, had a global vision, with consumerism as the key to peace. His intense commitment to lowering costs resulted in many technical and business innovations, including a franchise system that put a dealership in every city in North America, and in major cities on six continents. Ford left most of his vast wealth to the Ford Foundation, but arranged for his family to control the company permanently.
Gerald Rudolph Ford (July 14, 1913 – December 26, 2006) was the 38th President (1974–1977), and 40th Vice President (1973–1974) of the United States. Ford was the first person appointed to the vice presidency under the terms of the 25th Amendment. Upon succession to the presidency, Ford became the only person to hold that office without having been elected either President or Vice President. Prior to becoming Vice President, he served for over eight years as the Republican Minority Leader of the House of Representatives as a representative from Michigan's 5th congressional district.
