How many of you think that Henry Ford invented the car? Well, he didn't. Yes he did invent cars, but he was not the first. He saw that other people had made cars and wanted to make his own. Henry Ford was born on July 30th, 1863. He was the youngest of the six children in the family. His parents names were William and Mary. When he was young he liked playing with machines. Once he was a little older he worked part-time for the Westinghouse Engine Company. Henry started working fo the Edison Illuminatiing Company. In 1896 he made the horse-less carriage. On June 16th, 1903 Henry Ford bought the Ford Motor Company.

Hypothesis The Model T car is roomy. The Model T car seats up to 5 people. The steering wheel is 3 times the size of my head. There are 2 seats in the front and 3 seats in the back, just like cars now. To me the car has a lot of extra room, probably because I don't take up to much space.

Henry Ford also built an airplane the Ford Flyer.

To start the car you have to stand in front of the car and turn the crank on the front of the car to start the engine and then jump into the car to drive away. To stop the Model T you step on the break to slow the car down, and once it is stoped, pull on the brake lever to keep the car in place.

In 1891, Ford became an engineer with the Edison Illuminating Company in Detroit. Go to the Thomas Edison pageto learn more on Thomas Edison.

I also went to the Henry Ford museum while I was in Michigan. At the museum there is the Rosa Parks bus, the Abe Lincoln chair, limos that presidents got shot in, a car of the future, old cars, and, old trains.
