Henry Ford was a great engineer and successful businessman. He was born on a farm in America on July 30th, 1863 and had two younger brothers and two younger sisters. His father was a farmer and he always hoped that Ford would become a farmer too.
However, Ford didn't like farm work at all. Instead, he spent most of his time studying the machines. He had a great talent for working with machines. When he was thirteen years old, he was able to fix his watch. At the age of 16, Ford left the family farm and went to Detroit. He found a job in a machinery factory and learned more about machines by working in the factory. In 1886, he developed engines(发动机) and began to make efforts to make his own car.
In 1896, he made his first car. Seven years later, Henry Ford started the Ford Motor Company and produced its first car, the Model A. By the end of March, 1904, the company had sold almost 600 Ford cars and at the start of 1905, the company produced 25 cars each day. In 1908, Ford's company created the Model T cars. It soon became popular in America because it ran so fast that it could help people win in races. More importantly, it cost less. By 1918, half of the cars running in America were the Model T cars.
In 1921, the US president Warren Harding praised him for making the best company. Now the Ford Motor has become one of the largest car producers, and Henry Ford is known as the king of cars all over the world.
