THF115367 / Portraits of Henry Ford and Edsel Ford, 1936
01
Artifact Overview
The relationship between father Henry Ford and son Edsel Ford, warm and close in Edsel's youth, grew strained as the two men aged. Henry made Edsel president of Ford Motor Company in 1919, but the older Ford never fully relinquished control. Their personalities were very different -- Henry brash and confrontational, Edsel thoughtful and conciliatory.
