HAPPY BIRTHDAY HENRY FORD!


Happy birthday to Henry Ford, the man who started the Ford Racing program on Oct. 10, 1901, driving this race car called Sweepstakes. His upset victory that day over Alexander Winton attracted the investors to start Ford Motor Company in 1903. He was 38 years old at the time of this photo and the race. His riding mechanic was Spider Huff.
