It's fairly common knowledge that Henry Ford was a Democrat after 1918, and that many wanted him to be president. Arguably, his best shot would have been either 1924 or 1928, although at the time, the model T to model A changeover was just hitting production, so the latter is debatable.

Suppose somehow, through sheer exhaustion or whatever, the Democrats turned to Ford in 1924 instead of John W. Davis? Now you have the stage set for a low-key but still definite anti-Semite in the White House at nearly the flood tide of the revived KKK. How does a Ford presidency affect the 1920s and beyond?
