Believing in his design, Ford wanted to start his own automobile production company. Getting investors to<br />
believe in him as well, he was able to establish the Detroit Automobile Company. However, it was found that<br />

on. This gave birth to Model A, a design for a car that will be later known as the lightest ever made. Now,<br />
Henry Ford is one <strong>of</strong> the most renowned entrepreneurs in history.<br />
