Summary of A. J. Baime's Go Like Hell

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 On November 10, 1960, Henry Ford II opened his eyes. He was forty-three years old, stood six feet tall, and weighed well over 200 pounds. He was the second Henry Ford, born the grandson and namesake of the world’s richest man.

#2 In 1960, the Detroit companies were selling more than six million cars a year. The industry consumed 60 percent of the nation’s synthetic rubber, and 46 percent of the lead.

#3 The company declined under Henry II’s father, Edsel, who was unable to walk away from his job. He was eventually killed by stomach cancer in 1943.

#4 Henry II took over the failing Ford Motor Company in 1948, and he spent nearly $100 million on the launch of the new car. It was a slinky Ford with a snub nose and enough interior room that a man could drive with his hat on.
