Wait, isn’t Henry Ford dead and no longer running Ford in any way?
It would be quite surprising (and kind of impressive?) if he was!

Henry is dead and has been for a long time. His son too. The family still has some control I believe. Henry was very unique in his non-automotive beliefs. I don't believe the living family would support Nazis for example. So to Cycliste's point, not sure you should hold the current Ford responsible for the old man's failings.

William Clay Ford Jr. (age 68), is great grand-son of and Ford's executive chair.

That doesn’t erase his legacy.
Are you keeping your Prius? The Count assumes you agree with Toyota's wartime production of trucks and buses for the Imperial Army? As well as its joint operation of aircraft manufacturing (Tokai)?

I am. We did the same here in the U.S. I have owned GM products, who helped build wartime planes in the spirit of total war. Look up what Ford did with the Dearborn. That’s not supporting the war effort.
