Henry Ford was a genius and one of the greatest industrialists who ever lived, but he was not exactly a people person. He certainly was not a media person, that’s why we were really interested in this photo from 1938 that depicts Ford walking out of the White House after meeting with President Roosevelt. What two of the most powerful men in the world were talking about we’ll never know, but we do know that you’ll never see a day where a group of reporters can just stand at the freakin’ door of the White House and pounce on whoever walks out!
Look closesly and you’ll see all of the reporters have note books in hand and the couple of guys that Henry has walked past have already begun to fall in behind him. Apparently on this day, he refused to say anything to the media about his visit of the discussion with the President.
Let’s say all the reporters are gearheads and they’re yelling out car related questions at Ford. What are they asking him? Do they want to know about overhead valve engines? Why their flatties keep overheating? What are they asking him as he makes his escape from the White House?
Caption this photo! Put words in Henry Ford’s mouth as well as the mouths of the reporters!
Mr. Ford…Any comment on new car models? Well, boys….I’ve been thinking of naming models after my kids. You know….Edsel is president of the company. Might be a good place to start one day.
