pickup trucks from the first one to the present day. I thought what a nice idea. I thought that I might try something similar with some of the car pictures I have collected. I have been collecting pictures of Studebakers, Packards Nash, Hudson and Jeeps for some time now and I first wrote a web page on this page on the Studebaker. Then one on Jeeps and Packard followed. Then came one Nash and Hudson. I have since added a page on old Pickup Trucks , Hudson. Essex and Terrplanes of Australia , Volkswagen Kaiser and Henry J and then with the help of one of my visitors have written one on the Crosley. All my previous pages had been on orphaned cars but now I thought I would try one a bit different. I wrote a page on the Chevrolet and now the Ford These pictures came for a number

A Brief History of Henry Ford
and the Ford Motor Car Company
|
That man was Henry Ford Henry Ford, born July 30, 1863. He grew up
on the family farm in what is today Dearborn, Michigan.
In 1879, Henry Ford left home at sixteen
for the nearby city of Detroit He was going to work as an apprentice machinist.
He worked at this for three years and then returned to Dearborn. Then for
the next few years years, he operated and repaired steam engines,
finding occasional work in a Detroit factory When time permitted, he over-hauled
his father's farm implements. In 1888 he married Clara Bryant.
In 1891, Ford he went to work for the Edison
Illuminating Company in Detroit as an engineer.
These experiments led to the completion of his own self-propelled vehicle the Quadricycle in 1896. Although Ford was not the first to build a self-propelled vehicle, he was, however, one of several automotive pioneers who helped this country become a nation of motorists. In 1899 Ford quit his job at Edison and
with the help of some investors, he started the Detroit Auto Company.
Ford moved back to his father's home in 1901.
He built a car on his own and with it beat Alexander Winton in automobile
race. This attracted more investors and enabled him to form the Henry Ford
Co.
