Ia termasuk yang pertama menerapkan sistem produksi [[ban berjalan]] dalam produksi massal [[mobil]] yang terjangkau harganya.

Henry Ford memiliki tiga orang saudara, yaitu Margaret Ford (1867–1938); Jane Ford (1868–1945); William Ford (1871–1917) dan Robert Ford (1873–1934).
His father gave him a pocket watch in his early teens. At 15, Ford dismantled and reassembled the timepieces of friends and neighbors dozens of times, gaining the reputation of a watch repairman.<ref>Ford, ''My Life and Work'', 22–24; Nevins and Hill, ''Ford TMC'', 58.</ref> At twenty, Ford walked four miles to their [[Episcopal Church (United States)|Episcopal]] church every Sunday.<ref>Evans, Harold "They Made America" Little, Brown and Company.

Ford was devastated when his mother died in 1876. His father expected him to eventually take over the family farm, but he despised farm work. He later wrote, "I never had any particular love for the farm—it was the mother on the farm I loved."<ref>Ford, ''My Life and Work'', 24; Edward A. Guest "Henry Ford Talks About His Mother," ''American Magazine'', July 1923, 11–15, 116–120.</ref>
In 1879, Ford left home to work as an apprentice [[machinist]] in [[Detroit]], first with James F. Flower & Bros., and later with the [[Detroit Dry Dock]] Co. In 1882, he returned to Dearborn to work on the family farm, where he became adept at operating the Westinghouse portable [[steam engine]]. He was later hired by [[Westinghouse Electric Corporation|Westinghouse]] to service their steam engines. During this period Ford also studied bookkeeping at [[Goldsmith, Bryant & Stratton Business College]] in Detroit.<ref>Steven Watts, The People's Tycoon: Henry Ford and the American Century (Random House, Inc., 2006), pg. 28 http://books.google.com/books?id=LIDyU91YMHAC&source=gbs_navlinks_s</ref>
