Portrait of Edsel Ford as a Child, 1901
Add to SetSummary
Edsel Ford turned eight years old in November 1901. It was a year of ups and downs for his family. Edsel's father, Henry, saw his first car company dissolved in January. But, after his well-publicized victory in an auto race that October, Henry interested enough new investors to form his second firm, the Henry Ford Company, by year's end.
