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.

Harry Bennett (1892 - 1979), a former boxer and ex-Navy sailor, was an executive at Ford Motor Company during the 1930's and 1940's. His reputation of doing Henry Ford's "dirty work" is what most people remember, and his hunting lodge was built with some strange additions. He is best known as the head of Ford's "Service" Department, or.. Harry Herbert Bennett, a close aide of Henry Ford, the automotive pioneer, in the industry's often‐turbulent formative years, died on San. 4 in a California nursing home. He was 86 years old.
