जीवनी

The only American favorably mentioned in Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf".

Father of Edsel Ford.

Grandfather of Henry Ford II, Benson Ford, and William Clay Ford.

In 1922 "The New York Times" reported that Adolf Hitler's office contained a large picture of Ford. A well-thumbed copy of "The International Jew" was found in his library. It was a four-volume set of booklets and pamphlets published and distributed in the early 1920s by Ford. The rabidly anti-Semitic texts first appeared in Ford's own newspaper, "The Dearborn Independent". The paper reached a circulation of 900,000 by 1925, second only to the "New York Daily News", largely due to a quota system for promotion imposed on Ford dealers. Lawsuits regarding anti-Semitic material published in the paper caused Ford to close it, and the last issue was published in December 1927.

Founder of the Ford Motor Company.

Every time I reduce the price of the car by one dollar I get one thousand new buyers.

You can't build a reputation on what you're going to do.

History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that's worth a tinker's dam is the history we make today.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.

Say you can or say you can't, either way you're right.
