Henry Ford and 11 other assoc. started Ford Motor Company in June 16, 1903 and signed incorporation papers and sent them to Michigan's State Capitol in Lansing. Then with only 28,000 dollars they went out on the limb and made a company that changed 20th century America. In 1863 Henry Ford was born on a Spring hill Township Farm near Dearborn, Michigan. In 1896 Henry Ford completed his first little car the Quadricycle in a shed behind his home in Detroit. In 1903 Henry Ford incorporated started and they made the Model A and it was sold to a Chicago Dentist. In 1904 Henry Ford sets world record driving his "999" car on a frozen lake in Michigan. 1908 Henry Ford introduces the Model T which was very popular. In 1913 the company begins overseas trading. Also he invented the assembly which is used everywhere today. In 1917 the first truck was built the Model TT In 1922 the Ford company buys Lincoln Motor Company. In 1938Henry Ford introduces Mercury Line of produces.Plus in 1939 Lincoln is introduce In 1941 Henry Ford builds 1st military used "Jeep." In 1942 Henry Ford halts the output of civilian cars because of war, so they shift to military production. In 1947 Henry Ford dies in his estate in Dearborn, Michigan. The way Henry Ford has affected today's society in so many ways that you couldn't state them all but, but can name a few. For example during World War 2 he had to halt the output of civilian cars to make cars etc. for the military. Plus I don't think cars would be where they are today if Ford or Henry Ford did not get involved. He sort of revolutionized the car as we know it today.
