　　Henry Ford in Germany; September 1930

　　By 1932, Ford was manufacturing one third of all the worlds automobiles. Fords image transfixed Europeans, especially the Germans, arousing the fear of some, the infatuation of others, and the fascination among all.

　　Racing

　　Ford launched Barney Oldfields career in 1902

　　Ford maintained an interest in auto racing from 1901 to 1913 and began his involvement in the sport as both a builder and a driver, later turning the wheel over to hired drivers. He entered stripped-down Model Ts in races, finishing first in an ocean-to-ocean race in 1909, and setting a one-mile oval speed record at Detroit Fairgrounds in 1911 with driver Frank Kulick. In 1913, Ford attempted to enter a reworked Model T in the Indianapolis 500 but was told rules required the addition of another 1,000 pounds to the car before it could qualify. Ford dropped out of the race and soon thereafter dropped out of racing permanently, citing dissatisfaction with the sports rules, demands on his time by the booming production of the Model Ts, and his low opinion of racing as a worthwhile activity.
