Artifact Overview

Henry Ford's career soared in 1915. Ford Motor Company built 534,108 Model Ts in the 1915-16 model year. The assembly line yielded ever-greater production gains. Ford himself had become a household name. But there were limits to Mr. Ford's abilities. His ill-conceived attempt to end World War I with his "Peace Ship" that December was a notable failure.
