Artifact Overview

Edsel Ford and Henry Ford are seen walking through Ford Motor Company's Engineering Laboratory in this still from a film shot around 1935. The relationship between the son and the father had grown increasingly difficult. Though Edsel was officially the company's president, Henry refused to relinquish control, and he sometimes overruled his son's decisions after the fact.
