All Thanks To Henry Ford

• Henry Ford was born on July 30th 1863 on a farm
  near Dearborn, Michigan. From 1888 to 1899 Henry
  was a mechanical engineer and later a chief
  engineer. In 1896, after experimenting for many
  years, he completed constructing his first
  vehicle. Quadricycle. In 1903 Henry founded the
  Ford Motor Co.

All Thanks To Henry Cont.

• In 1913 Henry began using standardized
  interchangeable parts and assembly line
  techniques. Henry was chiefly responsible for
  their general adoption and for the consequent of
  great expansion of American industry and raising
  of American standard of living. In 1908 the Ford
  Co. initiated a production of the celebrated
  Model T. Until 1927, when the Ford Model T was
  discontinued in favor of a more up to date
  vehicle. Also the Ford Co. produced and sold 15
  million vehicles.

All Thanks to Henry Ford Cont.

• During the 1930s, Henry adopted the policy of
  the yearly changeover, but, his Co. was unable to
  regain the position it had formally held. Henry
  died on April 7th, 1947, in Dearborn. Ford left
  a personal fortune estimated at 500 Million to
  750 Million, bequeathing the largest share of
  his holdings in the Ford Co. to the Ford
  Foundation (a nonprofit organization.

A Career in Mechanics!

• Mechanics are awesome! They basically fix up all
  types of vehicles. Most of them restore old
  ones! That is one way to know how some of the
  old cars are still alive today! Also, some
  Mechanics paint cars, in any way you desirer!
  Mechanics will do anything you ask them to do for
  your car! If your car is wrecked, they will fix
  it for you, but, warning! It will cost you a lot
  of money to get it fixed. Normally, Mechanics
  will want to work alone. A lot of Mechanics will
  make there own prices for fixing things. I think
  that being a Mechanic would be a very cool job to
  have! Maybe you will think the same.

Conclusion

• I really had a lot of fun talking and showing you
  all about the cars in the 1920s, 1940s, and the
  (for fun) finishing touches!!! I hope you
  enjoyed it!!!
