Henry Ford (1863–1947) was a pioneer in the automotive industry whose innovations transformed manufacturing and labor practices worldwide. Born in Michigan, Ford displayed an early interest in engineering and mechanics. His passion led him to experiment with machines, and by 1896, he built his first self-propelled vehicle, the Quadricycle. These early experiments laid the groundwork for what would become the Ford Motor Company, established in 1903.
