Henry Ford is the father of building vehicles in mass quantity and the great grandfather of William Clay Ford Jr, Chairman of FMC. Mr. Ford who's education is far less in comparison to Bill but a smart man nevertheless, knew very little about history which oddly enough is what Bill Ford received his degree in. However, Mr. Ford was involved in a law suit with the Chicago Tribune and at some point the Tribune called Mr. Ford an ignoramus and his reply was "Prove it!". So the Tribune asked a series of high school level history questions that Mr. Ford got mostly wrong. Mr. Ford finally replied "I don't know the answers to those questions but I could find a man in 5 minutes who does". Exactly, even Bill Gates has said he is no smarter than anyone else he just knows a lot about what he does. Mr. Ford knew about cars and new how to run a business. In fact he helped his cousin start a business using the left over wood from his assembly line, "Kingsford Charcoal" proving once again his business smarts.
