Ferdinand Porsche was an Austrian-German automotive engineer born in 1875 who is known for designing the Volkswagen Beetle. He joined the Vienna-based factory in 1898 and later became the general manager of Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft in 1916. In 1931, he established his own company with his son to design and produce vehicles, including for the German military during World War 2. After the war, they spent time in prison in France but were released in 1947.

The first sports car bearing the Porsche name rolled out of a small test workshop in Gmund, Austria in June 1948. Back then, none of its founding fathers could have imagined the success story that more than one million descendants of this 'Porsche Number One' have written in the five decades since then. It is from this tradition that we draw the energy to face the challenges of the future. As we understand ourselves (and as countless people throughout the world perceive us), today, Porsche is a mature and vigorous company. Over the past fifty years, it has become the absolute definition of sports-car driving.

This conviction is not mere hubris; it is based on the certainty that our company is distinguished by a different and very special kind of logic. Porsche is a vital piece of counterevidence that disproves the commonly held theory that a small company can only survive if carried along on the shoulders of a giant.

It is not surprising that Porsche has recorded more victories than any other automobile manufacturer in such classics as the 24-hour LeMans and the 24-hour Daytona races. In 1997 the company successfully introduced the Boxster, a newly designed, lower priced sports car.

A multi-paragraph essay that summarizes and explains at least three ways Ford impacted American life.
You must include at least three pieces of textual evidence. A thesis, 3 body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Must use evidence from these 2 sources below. It can be either from passage 1 or 2. Passages are below.
Passage 1
“The Boy Who Took Things Apart”
1
There once was a boy named Henry who liked to disassemble things to understand how they worked. Once he dismantled a friend’s watch and then put it back together. It worked perfectly. When Henry became an adult, he once said, “Every clock in the house shuddered when it saw me coming.”
2
Henry Ford was born July 30, 1863, on his family’s farm near Dearborn, Michigan. He was always fascinated with mechanical devices. His preoccupation with mechanical things prompted him to travel to nearby Detroit, Michigan. Detroit was a growing industrial city, and Henry had no problem finding work at the Detroit Dry Dock Company. There he saw the type of engine he would later use to manufacture automobiles. When he was 28, Henry Ford went to work at Thomas Edison’s Detroit Illuminating Company as a mechanical engineer. He was soon promoted to chief engineer, but he had loftier goals.
3
In his spare time, he tinkered with gasoline-powered engines and bicycle parts. His tinkering paid off in 1896 when he completed his first vehicle. He called his invention a “Quadricycle.” The vehicle ran on four bicycle tires powered by a two-cylinder gasoline engine. Onlookers, some of whom said it looked like a baby carriage with an engine, came to see Ford’s invention on its first test-drive. Unfortunately, the Quadricycle broke down after a short run. This minor failure did not discourage Henry Ford.
4
Ford began again. By 1899, he completed another vehicle that resembled a motorcar. It had high wheels, a padded bench, brass lamps, and mudguards. The same year he introduced his improved Quadricycle, he established the Detroit Automobile Company. In 1901, he raced his new Quadricycle against what was then the world’s fastest automobile. Before a crowd of 8,000 people, Henry Ford easily won the race.
5
Building on the publicity received from his victory, Ford was able to secure financing for facilities in which to refine his ideas. By 1903, he began his own company called The Ford Motor Car Company. By January of the following year, he had sold 658 vehicles. When he opened The Ford Motor Car Company, he said, “I will build a car for the great multitude.” He did so by offering the Model T at an affordable $950. During the nineteen years the Model T was in production, 15,500,000 were sold in the United States alone.
6
Henry Ford is remembered for more than affordable automobiles. He modernized manufacturing methods. As a boy, he took apart a $3 watch and examined the parts, figuring out that the watch could actually be made at a cost of thirty-seven cents each if the manufacturer would produce thousands of.
This presentation gives a brief idea of Henry Ford's life and his contribution to the automobile industry. The presentation concludes with some key points that one may implement in his life to make a huge positive impact.

2. COMPANY’S NAME
is PORSCHE
Ferdinand PORCHE was born in Bohemia in Austria.
He was an Austrian-German automotive engineer and
he was creating Volkswagen Beetle.
In 1898, Porsche joined the Vienna-based factory.
The famous German tanks are tigers II-I and elefant
has been architected by him.
He was general manager of Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft
in 1916.
3. He established his own company with his son in 1931.
He created many stock car in his own company is
Porche.
He and his son created many vehicles for German
Army(Wehrmacht) at Second World War.
So, they lay in prison in France after war.
They got out of pirson in 1947.
5. The Porsche family returned to Stuttgart in
1949 not knowing how to restart their
business. The banks would not give them
credit, as the company's plant was still under
American embargo and could not serve as
collateral. So Ferry Porsche took one of the
limited series 356 models from Gmünd and
visited Volkswagen dealers to raise some
orders. He asked the dealers to pay for the
ordered cars in advance. He even wrote a
letter to the bank's director to thank him
for refusing.
6. Porsche was later contracted by Volkswagen
for additional consulting work and received a
royalty on every Volkswagen Type I (Beetle)
car manufactured. This provided Porsche
with a comfortable financial situation as
more than 20 million Type I were built.
Ferdinand visited Henry Ford's operation in
Detroit many times where he learned the
importance of productivity. There he learned
to monitor work. The need to increase
productivity became an obsession for him.
7. SO,
Ferdinand was 75 years old when he died
in 30 january 1951…
You can think he created tanks and vehicles for
NAZI. He were a German and his country was in
war. He tried to serve his country…
