01

Artifact Overview

Artist Ed Geissler created this caricature of Edsel Ford around 1935. It has the then-president of Ford Motor Company and Lincoln Motor Company standing in front of Lincoln's plant in Detroit, Michigan. On the left, a smaller drawing shows Mr. Ford preparing to reveal a new automobile -- perhaps it's the 1936 Lincoln Zephyr.
