Default Re: Charming Photo of Henry and Edsel Ford

Edsel approved all designs by that time. He couldn't change much but he had a large affect on design. Henry was kind of an engine and chassis man and he seldom saw a reason to change any of that. Edsel's main job was to be able to make pleasing designs fit the chassis that was available. Most major changes were granted in times of very low sales figures but they were welcome whenever Edsel could get them.

Despite the treatment that his father dealt out to him, Edsel deeply loved and respected his father and that says a lot about the man. He did so much and so well despite the ill treatment. Edsel was an amazing man.
