Henry Ford formed a curious kinship with Harry Bennett. Bennett joined Ford Motor Company in 1918 and, under Mr. Ford's patronage, he became head of the company's service department and one of its most powerful men. Bennett ruled through fear and intimidation. His reign ended when Henry Ford II fired him in 1945 -- the younger Ford's first act as new company president.. Bennett returned in 1940 to supervise the work on a new hideout to be built on 80 acres of land given to him by Henry Ford, just outside of Desert Hot Springs in a place then called Seven Palms.
