Henry Ford Coined This Adage That We All Use
We are sure this a phrase that you have used yourself once or twice in the past. When someone describes something that costs “an arm and a leg,”, this means that it was expensive. Apparently, Ford is the person responsible for coining this! The automaker never had problems giving his money away to people in need, and often said he would rather lose cash than body parts. This was the exact quote attributed to him: “Money is like an arm or leg — use it or lose it.” Upon his death, most of his wealth went to the Ford Foundation. He also left other family members in charge of running the company.

Ford Launched This Famous Two-Seat Convertible To Go Head-To-Head With The Corvette
In 1955, Ford launched the Thunderbird. Meant to compete with the Chevy Corvette, it was a comfortable and stylish two-seat V8 convertible. A couple of years after this, the company added four seats to their vehicles and ultimately created what we now know as the personal luxury car. This refers to the vehicles that are focused on driving convenience and comfort over high-speed performance and handling of sports cars. Ford produced the Thunderbird from the years 1955 until 1997 and then from 2002 until 2005. Overall, they made 11 models of it! Even though it was boxy and does not look particularly aerodynamic, Bobby Allison won 13 races during the late ‘70s and ‘80s while driving a Thunderbird.
