Heretofore Unknown Henry Ford IV Shows Up Looking For a Management Job
Henry Ford and Henry Ford II are long gone, and we already knew about Henry Ford III, Henry the First’s 39-year-old great-grandson who recently left his day-to-day job at the Ford Motor Company but continues to hold a position on the board of directors.
But no one — apparently not even Ford family members — knew of the existence of Henry Ford IV. Nevertheless, IV has arrived on the scene in Dearborn and reportedly wants to join the ranks of Ford’s management.
“I know a lot about cars and stuff,” said Ford IV, who, strangely, appears to be older than Henry Ford III. “I’ve always owned Fords. I still drive an ’83 EXP with the 1.6 and a four-speed. Good car, but it does kind of look like a bewildered catfish.”
For now, a Ford insider says the company is paying for a room for Ford IV at the Dearborn La Quinta until they can figure out what he’s good at. If anything.
