probeGT Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 For some reason, this came to mind while reading the NYT Mulally article. Seems to me that if Ford weathers this storm and is able to avoid government $$, he definitely deserves a spot. So, what about . . . Henry Edsel Henry II Alan I dunno about Edsel, actually. Does somebody like Caldwell or Petersen, who seemed to do a pretty decent improvement of product with original Taurus, etc., belong there? And what about Jill Wagner?

RichardJensen Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) Depends on the criteria: If it's "bacon saving", that'd be: Hank the Deuce, Ernie Breech, Petersen & Mulally. If it's "changed the course of the company", I'd have to go with: Henry Ford, Edsel Ford, Petersen & Bill Ford If it's Fords exclusively: Henry, Edsel, Hank the Deuce, and Bill Ford And if it's a roll call of losers, why that'd be: Harry Bennett, Lee Iacocca (for ruining Ford in the mid-late 70s), Bob Lutz (destroyed FoE by pretending he was still working for BMW), and Jac the knife. If it's cars: Model T, '49 Ford, Mustang, Taurus Edited September 10, 2009 by RichardJensen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 If it's cars: Model T, '49 Ford, Mustang, Taurus Gotta put an F-series in there! That's more the face of Ford over the past half century than perhaps anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I'd have a whole other category for trucks: World's first truck (Model T with truck body), '48 F-1, '76 F-100 (truck that took Chevy's sales crown), and ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last truck I'd include the Bronco or the Explorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edsel surely belongs there for bringing Ford kicking and dragging out from under the Model T, creating Continental, creating Mercury...pushing for more flair to the Ford lineup. A true visionary that died way before his time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark B. Morrow Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I'd have a whole other category for trucks: World's first truck (Model T with truck body), '48 F-1, '76 F-100 (truck that took Chevy's sales crown), and ???? Raptor, because it would look really cool carved into the side of a mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the ones I would've said, except I might've thrown Bill in there. LOL about Jill.....they'd need a 2nd mountain (or perhaps a Greek temple building thing :shades: ) for spokespeople......Jill would be the goddess, Mike Rowe, who else.... Raptor, because it would look really cool carved into the side of a mountain. Good reasoning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
