Who is this man and what is the car connection for a point?
Everyone take a shot!
Designer?
Not a designer...in fact, his connection to cars is more financial.
In fact, he got a major automaker off the ground!
Don't send me to the Black Hole...it's black as coal!
Alexander Y. Malcomson.
Detroit's largest coal dealer, Malcomson became Henry Ford's partner in 1902. With Malcomson's money Ford bought machinery and material to develop a prototype of an automobile. This eventually became Ford Motor Company's first product. In 1906, after a dispute with Henry over the direction of the company, Malcomson sold his stock to Ford for $175,000.
Easy as that...
