    It was actually a hundred years ago that it was proclaimed that by Henry Ford creating an automobile for the masses, the result was the moral degradation of our nation. So, would that make Paul Elio its savior?

    ...Star crash rated.... Elio.... Plus they will get to join the Elio Nation like the rest of us and be a part of history.... I wonder if Henry Ford's first stock holders and first employees thought... " This is a start of new age of driving for all of us." If you did put $10,000 down on...

    Funding Refused By Paul Elio

    The world has changed sense the days of Henry ford and the Harley start ups. In most cases a smart creative person like PE comes up with and Idea. At some point his dream gets noticed it is then produced by others with the capital behind them and the real experts on how to get it done. With so...

    Funding Refused By Paul Elio

    Need I mention Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, two inventors and very wealthy men. Ford was noted for wanting to control every aspect of his auto production and not tolerating outside interference. I think Paul is right, if it is true, to not lose control of the company he is trying hard to build. If...

    I'm sure you would have continued interest over the long haul as well. One more year is my breaking point. It is a big deal for EM to have gotten as far as they have with their concept as a new vehicle startup company. The all important next round of funding should push them over the finish...

    ...you, I would have probably lost intrest long ago. You've been in this six years now. I would really like to see how many years it took Henry Ford to take his ideas from the point Elio's progress is, to a production line. Probably not a fair comparison, because we already (for the most part)...

    The "let's Argue Over Colors And What Elio 'said'" Thread

    Henry Ford famously said his Model T customers could have any color they wanted... so long as it was black. The reason? At the time, black paint dried the fasted which resulted in production and cost savings. That was Henry Fords goal, to make his cars affordable... sound familiar? Go Elio!

    Friday's The Big Day ... Or Is It?

    Henry Ford as an individual didn't need government regulation. He was a self regulating visionary. Perhaps Henry would have gotten to production a year early had there been the need forgovernment assistance and regulation. I agree with your signing off statement because about 50% of our...

    Friday's The Big Day ... Or Is It?

    On the other hand, if not for big government, and all of it's bureaucratic red tape and regulations it would not be so hard to start a business. Just think where Ford would be if Henry had to contend with big government and Ralph Nader. He'd probably still be trying to get some bureaucrats sign...

    ...the same program that Elio wants a loan from. Let's not confuse "Loans" with "Bail Outs". And lets not loose sight of the fact that ........ if Henry Ford had to deal with the same regulations the Paul Elio has to deal with you would still be mucking out horse stables and oiling leather...
