Henry Ford on This Day in History

April 7: Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford died on this day in 1947. Before he dabbled in automobiles, Ford repaired watches for his friends, and he made his own tools to do it. He was also the Chief Engineer of the Edison Illuminating Company's main plant in 1893. Woodrow Wilson wanted Ford to run for the Senate as a Democrat, and he almost won, without any investment on his behalf. If you remember Kingsford charcoal, the name came from Ford. Using wood scraps from his plants, Henry Ford found he could make charcoal briquettes. Oh, and the movie Ford vs Ferrari (despite the bad name) is a great movie.

Have you noticed that the new Fords, or any other new car really, still have map lights, though we don't really need them since most cars now have built in GPS?
