and since the Edsel was introduced in 1957 a full ten years after Henry Ford died it has nothing to do with this article.

Ref post#34~~ It would be Ford's grandson Henry II who wanted to forget about this fiasco.

Then I'm sorry for introducing the subject. I didn't pay attention to the date, and misread 'Henry Ford II' as 'Henry Ford'.

"Cultural critics speculated that the car was a flop because the vertical grill looked like a vagina."
Yes, you certainly couldn't print that

Henry Ford (1863-1947) is remembered by many
few remember Winfield H Hubbell (1863-1946)
he is alluded to briefly at the start of this article.

Nice Article, you get to set the limits to what you cover.
In that vein, I offer not as a suggestion, only as food for thought:
Ford’s financing was tied to Winton who was an ALAM member.
Only after winning a suit filed by ALAM did Ford start to really grow.

As this is about the right man,(not his grandson) I suppose something could be added here. Maybe in the section on tin Lizzies.
Lets see how do I want to phrase this (puts on thinking cap)
