Ford's politics...

I am pretty sure that he supported Harding and Coolidge. There are even pictures of him with Harding during his front porch campaign. I wanted to get the pictures but the Ohio Historical Society has not returned my email. Can someone get an official confirmation?

Ford was a Democrat. Sobel says he "endorsed" Coolidge in 1923 but the quote does not bear out the claim [1] Richard Jensen 04:17, 14 May 2007 (CDT)
That looks like an endorsement to me...

What's needed?

There is no section dealing with the Henry Ford Company (1899-1903?). This was Ford's first company out of which he was forced when the directors brought in Henry Leland to manage production. The company was renamed Cadillac. No mention of the Dodge Brothers or James Couzens. Or the Dodge brothers lawsuit that they brought because of Ford's construction of the River Rouge. This led Ford to buy out all of the minority shareholders. No mention of the Tribune Lawsuit in which he said "history is more or less bunk."
