Henry Ford did not..

I have heard that Henry Ford did not invent the automobile, nor did he invent the assembly line. Is this so?










Yes. The gasoline powered car was invented by two different men in the late 1800's, Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz, working independent of one another. In order to fulfill a government contract to make muskets, EliWhitney pioneered the assembly line process 100 years before Ford.
