me and my automobile page 1 by ric gustafson
Henry Ford died at his Dearborn Michigan estate in April of 1947. One hundred thousand people filed by to pay their last respects. That day of April 9 1947, the city of Detroit came to a halt. By that time, the motor mogul had become the most famous man in the country.
Henry Ford left his huge automotive estate to the Ford Motor Company's Board which was dominated by members of Ford's family. He left a windfall of $ 26.5 million which he had hidden in a private bank account.
The honor of the first automobile goes to German engineers Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler. Henry Ford started the first mass production of automobiles.
