Henry Ford with other executives (1917-1919)

Henry Ford entertained a number of guests and dignitaries that came to visit Dearborn and his factories -- and Ford's film crews captured many of these meetings. This footage begins with Henry Ford, along with Edsel, posing with a group of yet-unidentified officials. A later clip shows the elder Ford talking with Andre Citroen. The visiting French industrialist founded a self-named automobile company in 1919 and mass-produced cars for the European market. Citroen has been called the Ford of France.

You know what Fords biggest problem was? He gave answers to people who didn't know the questions.

Has anyone ever been able to figure out what event this depicted, or surrounded, and who the rest of the people are?

The short one is Edsel Ford, Henry and Clara's only child.
