Henry Ford with Ford Motor Company Executives and Managers, Ardussey Road House, Detroit, Michigan, 1907

01

Artifact Overview

Henry Ford (front row, fourth from left) posed with Ford Motor Company executives and managers in 1907. It was a challenging year for the automotive industry. That fall, the Panic of 1907 slowed sales, and several smaller, poorly financed automakers went out of business. Ford Motor Company had sufficient sales and cash reserves to weather the storm.
