Re: Ford pay in 1930?
It was a shrewd marketing ploy as well. The appeal of the “Universal Car” made by a manufacturer that cared about their employees added to Fords bottom line. The T was in the right place at the right time, and was effectively marketed for maximum return.
Did you ever wondered why Ford wanted to continue producing the T long after the customer base demanded more? .. He, and his company were so rich they could.
What’s sad is the car that replaced the T went out of style well before Ford recouped its development cost. From a pure profit motivated perspective the A was a failure.
