So I was flipping channels last night and got stuck again watching the program on the History Channel where they show how J.P. Morgan, Rockefeller, and Carnegie built our country. At the end they show the piece on Henry Ford and while watching this time I was reading the facts that were popping up on the bottom of the screen.
It stated that Henry Fords' first company was the
Henry Ford Company that
became Cadillac. I thought this was very interesting and figured that there has to be a fair number of other facts like this too in the automotive history that most people don't know about.
You guys or gals know of any other interesting historical automotive facts?
