ON
THIS DAY: July
30, 1863
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HENRY FORD Henry Ford, born July 30, 1863, was the first of William and Mary Ford's six children. He grew up on a prosperous family farm in what is today Dearborn, Michigan. |
 |
ON
THIS DAY: November
26, 1927 |
|
| Henry enjoyed a childhood typical of the rural nineteenth century, spending days in a one-room school and doing farm chores. At an early age, he showed an interest in mechanical things and a dislike for farm work and of course went on to fame as the greatest auto maker in the world. His son, Edsel, who was responsible for the creation of the Model A, died in 1943 at age 49. In 1947, Henry Ford died at the age of 83 at Fair Lane, his Dearborn home |
revolutionized the automobile industry, and over 15,000,000 million units of the "Tin Lizzie" were sold in its 19 years of automotive production and assembly. By 1927, the popularity of the outdated Model T was rapidly waning. Improved, but basically unchanged for its two-decade reign, it was losing ground to the more stylish and powerful motor cars offered by Ford Motor Company's competitors. In May of 1927, Ford automobile production plants across the country closed, as the company began an intensive development of the more refined and modern Model A automobile. The vastly improved Ford Model A had elegant Lincoln automobile-like styling on a smaller scale, and used a capable 200.5-cubic-inch four-cylinder engine that produced 40 horsepower (hp). With prices starting at $460, nearly 5,000,000 Ford Model A automobiles, in several body styles and a variety of colors, rolled onto America's highways over a four-year period until production ended in early 1932. |
