Is this true? I've heard this story/anecdote before, more generally and not ascribed to any particular person, and to a general big company, not Ford specifically. (Just a general "know where to draw the chalk X" kind of thing.)
A search gives me only what I see as lowish reputation sources, like the fandom wiki you linked.
