Henry Ford had a natural curiosity about how and why things worked — and a desire to make them more efficient and effective. With unrelenting determination to make transportation affordable for the middle class, he transformed the way cars were produced and utilized. Ford’s novel business practices and techniques, along with his product, became an indelible part of American life and helped bring forth the modern age.
