Dodge and Ford are two of the most iconic American auto brands of all-time. But despite
starting off as allies at the start of the 20th
Century, a bitter court battle several years later would pit Henry
Ford against the Dodge Brothers in a trial that would change the business world forever. In this new
installment of RCR Stories, we'll take a look into the life of Henry Ford, and John and Horace Dodge, to
see how their pasts made their futures inevitable. What were the successes that defined their partnership
and launched both Ford and Dodge into the public consciousness, and what were the tragedies that ended
their stories? What lessons can we learn from this case? How has it changed corporate law, not only in
America but worldwide? After two long years, it's an all-new RCR Stories! FINALLY.
