Henry Ford's Fight

Henry Ford's first Model T rolled off the assembly line on September 27, 1908, and over fifteen million were built in the following two decades. But before he changed the world with the Model T, Henry Ford had to fight a bizarre legal battle that threatened the entire automobile industry. This is the nearly-forgotten story of how Ford stood almost alone against powerful forces who tried to hold everything hostage.SUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageSUPPORT OUR SPONSOR:https://www.modelcitizendiecast.comFIND HORSEPOWER HERITAGE ON THE WEB:https://horsepowerheritage.comMUSIC CREDITS:"Humoresques" by Antonin DvorakPerformed by Oliver ColbentsonPublic Domainhttps://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/"Finale, 4th Symphony" by Pyotr TchaikovskyPerformed by The United States Navy BandPublic Domainhttps://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/"Sonatine" by Maurice RavelPerformed by Markus Staabhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Looking Upward Suite" by John Phillip SousaPerformed by The United States Marine Corps BandPublic Domainhttps://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/"Little Trolls" by Frank Schröterhttps://filmmusic.io/song/8104-little-trolls https://filmmusic.io/standard-license"Maple Leaf Rag" by Scott JoplinPublic Domainhttps://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/"Ashton Manor" by Kevin MacLeodhttps://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3385-ashton-manor https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseSupport the showHELP us grow the audience!
