Auditorium

Join us for Paul Vachon's talk on his new book.

The presentation will cover highlights from the book, including Henry Ford's two attempts to become an automaker before he started Ford Motor Company, and the heavy-handed tactics General Motors used against Ralph Nader when he raised the alarm about auto safety. A PowerPoint presentation shares some of the book’s more dynamic images, while the commentary discusses some of the lesser-known facts surrounding local auto lore.
