Henry Ford was not an inventor. He did not invent the automobile.
What he is credited with doing is revolutionizing mass production of automobiles, including interchangeable parts, the assembly line, and paying his workers a good wage. The result was an automobile that was priced affordably enough that the masses could buy, including his workers.

Henry Ford did not invent the automobile, nor did he invent the assembly line.
Henry Ford built his first car, the Quadracycle, in a brick shop behind his home at 58 Bagley Ave. Detroit MI. in 1896.
Carl Benz is generaly recognized as the inventor of the automobile.

it was chrysler and mercedes benz when they worked together to make the first car. henry ford just created the assembly line which was a mean to produce cars much more quickly, efficiently, and cheaper, which is why everybody has a car, and why a kia doesn't cost $100,000.

I assume you are referring to assembly line production (not the car). It was in Detroit, MI.
