What can you say about Henry Ford the car manufacturer?

Answer 1

Thank You Henry for your hard work and imagination, you have made it possible for me to get to work, watch Nascar, and if it weren't for cars, we would all have lost our virginity where???

Not to mention, he made it possible for the Creation of the 1967 Corvette 427 4 speed, 1967-70 Ford Mustangs and Shelby Cobras, the Mercedes Benz SLK 230 cars, and the F-body G.M. cars. These are in my opinion the most BEAUTIFUL things on Earth except for Curvy, Hard bodied WOMEN of COURSE!!!

Thank You again Henry, You are the MAN!!!

Answer 2

One of the most brilliant Americans of all time. He revoutionized the auto industry by seeing the production of his products from start to finish, that means from mining the metals to sale. Though his anti-semitist ways put many people off he was very much in favor of equal rights for the races which was evident in his workforce. Henry was a very troubled man, with many troubled relationships. After early failures in starting his company he didn't seem to trust people very easily. Little known fact: Cadillac was formerly named The Henry Ford Motor Company and was one of Henry's faild ventures before today's Ford (his financers backed out).

Answer 3

The original Fords ran engines produced by the Dodge brothers, and the later on in its history, the parts that they were using were made by chevrolet before they were an automotive company and when they were a machine company. In world war II Hitler used Henry Ford's production line idea as an way for his uses. Random little facts. He not only changed America, he changed the world as we know it. His ideas are still being used today. I have to say, I am proud of driving around with the Blue Ovel on my grill.

Answer 4

Here is something else he also did!!


The modern charcoal briquet was invented
by automaker Henry Ford. Ford operated a sawmill in the forests
around Iron Mountain, Michigan, in the years prior to 1920 to
make wooden parts for his Model T. As the piles of wood scraps
began to grow, so did Ford's eagerness to find an efficient way
of using them. He learned of a process developed and patented by
an Orin F. Stafford. The process involved chipping wood into
small pieces, converting it into charcoal, grinding the charcoal
into powder, adding a binder and compressing the mix into the
now-familiar, pillow-shaped briquet. By 1921, a charcoal-making
plant was in full operation.

E. G. Kingsford, a lumberman who owned one of Ford's earliest
automobile sales agencies and was distantly related, briefly
served as manager of the briquet operation. A company town was
built nearby and named Kingsford. In 1951, an investment group
bought the plant, and renamed the business the Kingsford Chemical
Company, and took over operations. Its successor, The Kingsford
Products Company, was acquired by The Clorox Company of Oakland California in 1973.

Answer 5

Henry Ford DID NOT INVENT the assembly line but was the 1st to use it on a large scale and made it successful. Yes he invented the Model T. Germany made the 1st car and has been over engineering crappy cars ever since.

Answer 6

Very bright guy: Pretty much revolutionized mass-production and factories in the US and elsewhere.
Hung around with like-minded folks: Best friends with Thomas Edison and Firestone, travelled around the country (by car, of course) with them.
Virulently anti-union and anti-semitic. Supported Hitler long after the rest of the world wised up. (But Ford built tons of the planes that won WW2)

Answer 7

He gave the people something to work on and be proud of. Regardless If GM or any other Is faster, theres nothing like having a Ford Mustang period.

Answer 8

any one know where he is buried, i would like to go dig him up, and just let him know how much i dislike the last 30 years of the product line. i am kidding about the digging thing, but i see too many flaws with the cars. the dipstick isn't even correct, and has not been since 1983, for most of the cars at least

Answer 9

Pretty smart guy. If you get the chance, check out his house in greenfield, MI. It's up by Detroit. He was the guy who made the assembly line work and made the auto cheap enough for the common man to buy a car.

Answer 10

He changed America. By doubling wages and shortening hour , for the first time workers could afford by buy the product they made.
