He may have just misspoken. 1908 was a big year (introduction of the model T) and he may have just crossed the dates. There is also technically some gray area with the start of Ford and when Henry Ford became the majority owner and president, which I think wasn't until 1906.
Good interview. Yeah, I wondered why he said 1908 too. I like your closing question. Next time be sure to get better microphone pick-up/placement. It was difficult to hear him sometimes.
Good interview Mark! You asked good questions. Did you conduct this interview in Dearborn or So Cal? The company started in 1903 though, not 1908. Ford was incorporated June 16, 1903. 106 years old this year. Congrats to Ford!

Thanks! I interviewed Mark Fields in Los Angeles. I hope to interview Mr. Fields again with a different set of questions in Dearborn.
