Henry Ford was an American automobile manufacturer who invented the Model T in 1908 and advanced the manufacturing process, revolutionizing the automotive industry. As a result, Ford sold millions of cars and became a world-renowned business leader. The company then lost market power but had a lasting impact on other technological advances, labor issues and U.S. infrastructure. Today, Ford is said to have helped build the American economy during the early years of the country and is considered America's leading entrepreneur.
