Henry Ford was born in a farm in Dearborn, Michigan on July 30, 1863. At a young age, Ford did not seem interested in becoming a farmer like his father. In 1879, Ford left the farm and moved to Detroit to become an apprentice at Michigan Car Company, a manufacturer of railroad cars. By 1891, Ford took a job as a night engineer for the Edison Electric Illuminating Company. There he would slowly make his way up as chief engineer for the company. 1896 would mark an important date for Ford, as he and a group of friends completed the first self-propelled vehicle, the Quadricycle.
Henry Ford would move forward and attempt to open a company that would make and sell horseless carriages. He would fail two times before finally on June 16, 1903, Ford Motor Company opened. Ford Motor Company's first car was the Model A. By 1907, Ford's Model N was the best selling car in the country. Henry Ford had a bigger vision though; he wanted "motorcar for the great multitude."
I think that the pictures and how you go further into Fords past was a good approach.
