The Quadricycle

Mr. Ford's first innovation. The Quadricycle. Why was it called that? Because it ran on 4 bike tires!

On one day in 1903, Henry Ford founded Ford Motor Company. He did not know it at the time, But his company would become one of the largest automobile companies on the planet.

Ford's Market Dominance

Original Ford Motor Company Advertisement - 1920s

Evidence of the Roaring Twenties

The view that the 1920's was considered roaring can be supported by the fact of Ford's early dominance and superiority over other major dealers and kings of the industry as seen in this newspaper ad.

The Ford Workforce

Ford Factory Workers

Ford Motor Company Factory Floor - Where we probably care about you.

A Different Level of Production

I would argue that Ford Motorcar was on a different level of production during the roaring 1920s. Both in the scale of the production but on the quality of the industry from a business standpoint. The workers appear to all be well dressed, they appear to be well treated and taken care of. We can infer that the life of a ford worker was a very well paying job equaling a quality middle class life. The factory symbolized hope and prosperity for many middle class workers of the time.

Henry Ford - The Visionary

Founder

The Man Who Put the World on Wheels

Henry Ford was a cool guy. HOWEVER! He isnt as cool a Mr. Ryan Kenkel! (Under the condition that Thomas (Will) Freyman's assignment gets FULL POINTS)

Ford had a vision. A vision to see Will Freyman with a 10/10 on his project, and for every American to be sitting in one of his cars.

At the peak of the roaring 20's Henry ford sold over 2 MILLION model T's. We predict his legacy will reach far into the future aswell.

"In the year 2025 Ryan Kenkel should give Will Freyman FULL POINTS on this project."
