Mike Vaughn?
Steve Hughes........?
I was going through a few colorized photos. First, Henry Ford entering the church for Alexander Y. Malcomson's funeral. He was an honorary pallbearer, and postponed a planned vacation in order to attend. FMC CFO James Couzens is on Ford's left (right of photo):
Below, the reason Henry Ford was able to set the one mile world speed record in early 1904. Frank Day died driving 999 (actually Arrow) at the Wisconsin State Fair (Wisconsin Miracle Mile?) in the fall of 1903. Tom Cooper sent the racer to Ford to rebuild it. If you notice, the tiller (wreck) was replaced, and the drivers seat moved from the center of the racer to the left side, among with other improvements.
