Type T cars are replaced by Type A vehicles

In contrast to his father's temperament, Edsel Ford was a polite, sophisticated, calm and love of Fine Arts. Because Henry Ford objected to studying at the University, Edsel could not pursue higher education, but in many matters, Edsel proved to be widely knowledgeable.

Less than a year after the move to Fair Lane, Edsel married Eleanor Clay, the niece of an entrepreneur in Detroit. After getting married, Edsel lived somewhere else, so the billiard room, bowling room was not used and the expensive organ was also damaged.

Car "T-type"

Edsel has four children, Henry II, Benson, Josephine and William. These children grew up at the Edsel's 60-room villa for construction at Gaukler Pointe. In the summer, they live on the coast in a $ 3 million villa (worth the time) at Seal Harbor, Maine, and in the winter, they rest on the Onika ship 38 meters long, anchored. at Hobe Sound, Florida area.

In 1920, Henry Ford's "T-type" cars were popular everywhere, accounting for 60 percent of the market. Although this vehicle has durable and inexpensive characteristics, it is only suitable for poor road conditions of the years before 1914, so in this period, the American people began searching for a vehicle. Slightly more expensive but more beautiful and more comfortable inside. In summer venues, in pubs, it is often said that a "T-type" Ford car is a really useful " bath box " but no one wants to let others see themselves sitting inside. In the mid-1920s, General Motors car company was improved, under the wise control of Alfred P. Sloan and launched the Chevrolet car with the features that the T-type Ford car didn't have. Despite this competitive situation, Henry Ford still refuses to accept that "T-type" cars have become obsolete. Old Henry still insists on maintaining the car's tastes in black and to let the price of cars be only 290 dollars, Ford "T-type" cars still use the old-style powertrain, without the driver ( startor). Faced with the stubbornness of the old business giant, the company commanders from the past until now only agreed with Henry Ford, except Edsel and a few commercial employees, vehemently protesting, demanding completely removed the "T-type " car.

Car "type A"

In the past, Edsel and his father never shared a view. Between the father and son often argue and before the raging winds of domineering father, Edsel still stands to pursue and fulfill the intentions. For this argument, when Edsel presented evidence in the sales figures of cars that were getting worse and worse, Henry Ford surrendered. Edsel Ford, though appointed by his father as CEO, was 26 years old but proved to be a visionary 30 years ago, not only in artistic and technical concepts but also in theories related to Industry, society and economy. As for cars, Edsel wanted Ford cars to be fitted with steam brakes and shifters and other innovations such as Chevrolet cars with increasing sales. Old man Henry Ford objected strongly to the victory. After a grueling, Henry Ford was only able to banish Edsel to work at a California branch. Although the conflict was so great, in the end, Edsel's "A-type" Ford was born in December 1927. The appearance of this "A-type" vehicle for the time was also a very important news that the press wrote on the front page. It can be said that it is a revolution of cars because not only is the car price very low, the car has a win-win situation with 4 wheels, including the most special wipers and parts, the car has all kinds of vibrant colors. !

After the "A-type" car disagreement , Henry Ford put time into collecting memorabilia, but not in this half-retirement situation, but the senior business man gave up his rights. against Ford Company. Edsel, despite being the General Manager, made his decisions not quickly executed by employees without Henry Ford's consent. This old man sometimes appeared with tantrums and that situation was a minor obstacle to Edsel. It was in this turmoil that a man appeared: Harry Bennett.
