DaveNay said:Taking a look at the historical logos as listed on this page, I suspect the "e" has been there for quite a while. The most likely candidate for the "e" tribute is Edsel Ford (Henry Fords son) born in 1893 and died in 1943. The logo shown on the above website and dated 1912 appears to have the "e" within the F, so it is quite possible it refers to Edsel Ford.
