Henry Ford was perfectly tuned to his time. While other automakers were turning out expensive toys for rich men, he made sturdy, practical cars that everyone could afford and everyone could drive. His moving assembly line slashed the cost of production. His network of franchised dealers nurtured car ownership and promoted gas stations and better roads. But when his time passed him by, he couldn't adapt to the new world he himself had made. Here, in this short-form book, is his story.
