01
Artifact Overview
On May 26, 1927, when Edsel Ford drove the last Model T off the line at the Highland Park Plant, his father's face betrayed conflicting emotions. Henry's Model T had changed the world, but its day was over. How did he follow a legend? Some two months later Ford summed up his challenge, "Sixty-four today and the biggest job of my life ahead."
