[@rayrussell6258]

Nope, your fictional misrepresentation of the man are enough to know watching a "Part 1" would be a waste of time.

[@martentrudeau6948]

My grandfather worked 35 years as a machinist for Ford Mo Co, from the 1920s into the 1960s, he said Henry Ford was a great and a good man. Most people back in those days agreed with my Grandfather. People today should not judge Ford using 2024s mainstream PC standards, that makes no sense. We have no concept of who Ford was and what he accomplished. ~ Henry Ford was born in 1863, he built the largest, most modern manufacturing company in the world in his day. Henry Ford was a great man and should be remembered for his greatness in our day.

Love your stuff. HF was such an enigma/paradox/not sure what to call him, who I revered as a young man and reviled as a mature man. Now at 63, I feel sorry for him; everybody has some sort of damage, caused by failure, success, or both. Keep up the great work!! I'll be watching!!

[@MyHumanWreckage]

I’ve been watching almost all your videos on your channel. Well researched and fascinating. Keep up the great work!

[@classiccardocumentaries]

Thanks, will do!

[@daleolson3506]

Nice job. Absolute power absolutely corrupts

[@BeauQuillen]

BUT THE WORLD CHICO AND EVERYTHING IN IT ITS YOURS.

[@aldoandikaa]

Nice video as usual! Awesome research and editing👏🏻. Can’t wait for next videos

[@classiccardocumentaries]

Thanks a ton!

[@malcolmdyer6090]

7:50 In 1915 tensions in Europe were passed 'broken out', we were at war in 1914. By that time the war was unstoppable.

[@mattskustomkreations]

Irregardless of what the narrator thinks, “irregardless” is not a real word.

[@doriandenard5846]

Totally opposite of what regardless means by adding the ir.....

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great vid!!!! 👍👍

[@classiccardocumentaries]

Thanks! 👍

[@williamwoolcock]

Great paintings of the workers.

[@joejones4296]

Very fair biography.

[@classiccardocumentaries]

Many thanks!

[@bradleypollack5658]

The reason why Henry Ford was so successful, was because he was not greedy. Nowadays, they do not think that way they gouge people as much as they can to make a profit.

[@michaelschwegel2986]

Henry is probably rolling in his grave at the thought of what's become of FoMoCo!!! He's probably saying "Oh fuck they're letting Tommy boy run my company in the ground!" (Jack Farley and actor Chris Farley"TOMMY BOY" were cousins) sharing a paternal grandfather....

[@user-dp8gb9zu8v]

​@@michaelschwegel2986 What do you mean what's happened to his Company. it was never worth a fuckin shit to begin with.

[@davidwright4537]

Your statement at time 3:15 is simply wrong. There were many models/configurations, and it was available in many colors up and till the mid-twenties.

[@user-oj9dq8io7r]

The implication that the Model A added colors to the Ford line is wrong. The Model T in 1926 was offered in 4 colors and in 1927 was offered in 6 colors. Unfortunately the library I once had is now gone and with it I could give you the colors that still does not change the fact that the Model A did not "add colors" to the line of cars.

[@user-oj9dq8io7r]

I shall only be amused by the truth.

[@tomservo56954]

The earliest Model T's were offered in colors...the problem was as production grew, black was the only color that dried fast enough to keep up

[@user-oj9dq8io7r]

@@tomservo56954 Actually it was black "japan" that was the quickest drying paint which is why the Model T was reduced to one color so assembly speed could be increased and to cut down on space needed to store vehicles during drying the finishes.

[@marblox9300]

Henry wanted to keep the car simple, functional and affordable. In 2024 the OPPOSITE mentality is true. Great idea for the big companies and bad for the little guy.

[@powellmountainmike8853]

"Paranoid" ? FORD WAS RIGHT !

[@mescko]

If you've read about Ford in the late 40's when HF II took over you realized how close Ford came to collapsing. HF II brought in an expert in the new science of efficiency, Ernest Breech. Imagine his horror when he discovered how the company was paying bills. At one point Henry, in one of his capricious fits, fired all of the accountants. Ernie was told that employees were forced to develop a formula whereby invoices were weighed to pay expenses. The system evidently worked fairly well.

[@classiccardocumentaries]

Great comment. And I have a video about HF II saving the company on the channel. Check it out.

[@mescko]

@@classiccardocumentaries Will do, thanks. 👍

[@-Gunnarsson]

I think its weird why the workers did fight even after all benefits.

[@kimdelong3429]

Regardless of what anybody thinks in 2024. Without the likes of Ford, Chrysler, Carnegie Steel, and Standard Oil. We would not have the technology we have today!

[@Really658]

Well I don't know the exact truth since time smooths the rough edges, I have heard good and bad.

[@robertusa1234]

If Henry ford had his way ford would still be selling the model t today.

[@tomservo56954]

You didn't mention that Henry funded the stock buyout by shipping unordered cars and parts to dealers and suppliers...C.O.D. A number of them went bankrupt.

[@marblox9300]

Unions. If you don't like your job then quit and go somewhere else. And don't get me started on public sector unions who are destroying this country.

[@flamingvans1135]

🤣You're a riot! Even Walt Disney's employees had enough of that don't-like-it-here-go-somewhere-else line of thinking, and there were plenty of animation studios they could have gone to besides his. Read up on the 1941 strike, where news cameramen caught Disney nearly getting into a brawl with one of his top animators, Art Babbitt, who went on to join UPA (Gerald McBoing Boing, Mr. Magoo). Disney employees got their union, which still exists today.

[@danieledwards844]

I studied the origins of Judaism and discovered things that would shock most people, however that doesn't mean we should take action against them, the way people thought and behaved 50-100 or even a thousand years ago should have no bearing on our actions today. While watching this I couldn't help but to think of Elon Musk, he seems to have some of the same overtones as Henry. Unlike Henry I hope Elon is able to change with the times and keep his ego in check.

[@hickerbilly345]

Henry Ford was biased.

[@user-dp8gb9zu8v]

Henry Ford should have been stopped. before he was allowed to start the worst auto manufacturer in this Country.
