Ford's politics...

I am pretty sure that he supported Harding and Coolidge. There are even pictures of him with Harding during his front porch campaign. I wanted to get the pictures but the Ohio Historical Society has not returned my email. Can someone get an official confirmation?

Ford was a Democrat. Sobel says he "endorsed" Coolidge in 1923 but the quote does not bear out the claim [1] Richard Jensen 04:17, 14 May 2007 (CDT)
That looks like an endorsement to me...

What's needed?

There is no section dealing with the Henry Ford Company (1899-1903?). This was Ford's first company out of which he was forced when the directors brought in Henry Leland to manage production. The company was renamed Cadillac.
