My grandfather worked 35 years as a machinist for Ford Mo Co, from the 1920s into the 1960s, he said Henry Ford was a great and a good man. Most people back in those days agreed with my Grandfather. People today should not judge Ford using 2024s mainstream PC standards, makes no sense. We have no concept of who Ford was and what he accomplished. ~ Henry Ford was born in 1863, he built the largest, most modern manufacturing company in the world in his day. Henry Ford was a great man and should be remembered for his greatness in our day.
"Thanks for sharing this story about your grandfather and his experience with Henry Ford. Undoubtedly, Henry Ford was a prominent figure in the development of modern industry and the revolution in how cars are manufactured. Our appreciation for historical achievements should take into account the historical context of that period. Henry Ford left an indelible impact on the industry.😍
Henry Ford was one of the most famous heroes and industrialists in the history of mankind. He perfected the automobile, the assembly line, invented charcoal and pioneered many improvements which have become automotive mainstays. Eventually, old age began to get the better of him. His company had been losing money for years before his death and it took the heroic efforts of Henry Ford II to turn the company around. Today, Ford is the largest producer of automobiles the world over. Ford is also the only American car producer who has never asked for a government bailout. Their cars better those of Chrysler and GM by miles.

“Everyone has their own point of view and interpretation of history. The 1955 Chevrolet was truly an icon in American automotive history, but it was not the only one that helped put America on wheels. Henry Ford and his Model T had a huge impact in making cars accessible to the masses. They both played an important role In the history of American automobiles.
@@Engine23 The '55 Chevrolet had nothing whatever to do with putting America on wheels. The '55 Chevrolet was General Motors' version of the 1949 Ford. Like most GM cars, it followed Ford's lead, but took them six years. Comparing a '55 Chev to a Model T shows a lack of automotive sophistication at best. It was a landmark achievement for GM but beyond that, it was no different from any other garden variety 1955 car. The Model T was the only car America could buy affordably and lasted for many years before the slightest competitor came along. Even the first Chevrolets were no competition for the Ford Model T.
