You know their names -- Ford, Chrysler, Dodge -- but do you know the stories behind the visionaries who built America's automobile industry? This three-part special chronicles the journeys taken by the likes of Henry Ford, Walter Chrysler and the Dodge brothers as they worked their way up to the top of the industry to become legendary brands whose vehicles are coveted by car enthusiasts and collectors.
