The dude kept staff who's only job was to beat up employees,  but sure he paid them well, right?

Lee Iacocca made the Mustang.  He tells a story an Engineer on his team left a meeting and Henry Ford told Lee to fire him.  "He's a faggot".  What??  "Bell bottom pants, get rid of him!"

This book came with my first car.  A 1966 VW bus I bought for $25. 
 

Yes, I needed that book! (It's a good one).   It was my intro to working on cars.

Pre-internet, a local radio morning show had a segment called "You Can't Win", where they'd pick a random caller to try to answer impossible questions. Answer correctly, and the caller would get another, until five were answered correctly, to win a prize package (TV, car stereo, concerts tickets, etc). The question(s) would be repeated every morning until someone got all five correct. 

One of the questions was, "What American had a framed photo of Adolf Hitler on his desk?"

It took a few weeks before someone said "Henry Ford"
