This production gave him the money to build the ultimate factory - The River Rouge Complex https://www.thehenryford.org/visit/ford-rouge-factory-tour/history-and-timeline/ … Barges dropped off coal, sand, and iron ore - basically special dirt - at one end, and a mile away cars rolled out.

But ironically capitalism almost stopped this plant. When Ford couldn't pay the Dodge brothers (yep, that Dodge) for model T transmissions, he gave them 10% of Ford - Yay capitalism! Goods keep flowing 1/2

Ford pre-sold 6k cars the year before production and didn’t meet demand until the 5th year of production. No change in great products-market fit for 100 years.
