Contrary to what is popularly believed, Ford did not invent the [[automobile]] (that was done by German Karl Benz) nor did Ford invent the assembly line (that was done by Ransom E. Olds).
What Ford did was perfect the concept of mass production (the standard in virtually every manufacturing plant worldwide) through the [[Model T]] automobile, which revolutionized the American economy and made cars affordable to the common person for the first time ever.
He also paid his workers very well, which, in the long run, paid off as he was creating his own [[consumers]]. That too was a new idea.
Ford claimed 161 U.S. [[patent]]s to his credit.
