His idea, he wasn't boring in his idea, which was the way to sell cars was to market them. Ford sort of did market cars, but he did it on the assumption that if you told your customer about the Model T, they would buy it. You know, if you build it, they will come. And he was right for a long time. But after 1920...

the end of the 20s, he stopped producing the Model T and never came up with anything to compete with it. And as a result, General Motors became the big competitor for Ford. And it did so by marketing. He got in, Sloan got in, Harley Earl, who built most extravagant cars imaginable, the opposite of Ford's puritanical small cars, light, small, everything. The opposite.

He just built massive, heavy cars that we all, by the time they got into the 50s, we all recognized them, the great Cadillacs and so on. Absurd cars with gigantic wings at the back, which made no sense sort of in engineering terms. But they would, because people, as Ford also introduced planned obsolescence so that, you know, he would build a new car model every year.

model of the same car every year which had very little difference but he would say you had to have the new car and people had if the people saw their neighbors had the new car they then went out and bought one themselves so he created a marketing system which is kind of like the parallel of Ford's production system but applied to marketing and it was just hugely successful but it didn't produce great cars
