My report will present a short biography about Henry Ford's life and explain how Ford developed the Model T car and later came up with the assembly line. I chose to report on Henry Ford because I have always been interested in cars. I wanted to learn more about his Model series and, specifically, The Model T.

In 1879, at sixteen years of age, Ford left home for the nearby city of Detroit to work as an apprentice machinist, although he did occasionally return to help on the farm. He remained an apprentice for three years and then returned to Dearborn.
