The Farmer Boy Who Invented Ford

In 1879, a 16-year-old boy left his father’s farm for Detroit. At the time when means of transportation were trains or horse carriages and the first automobiles were mostly seen as racing machines for the rich, he would later open a car company and change the course of the automobile industry to what we know today. 35 years later after his arrival to Detroit, half of all cars on Earth were carrying his name, and Henry Ford would become one of the wealthiest men in American history.Chapters:00:00 - 00:38 Prologue00:39 - 02:48 The Farmer Boy02:49 - 04:57 Moving Out04:58 - 07:37 The New Engine07:38 - 11:29 The Business Failures11:30 - 15:34 Ford Motor Company15:35 - 18:59 The Assembly Line19:00 -21:36 Trouble In paradise
