Is the Henry Ford legend about lunch interviews true? Yes, and here s why.
This is something I ve heard about for many years. Joe Burridge wrote about this back in 2016 on the LinkedIn Talent Blog,

When ESPN Came to Kalamazoo for the Monster Truck Challenge
Monster trucks ruled the world in the 80s and brought the car-crushing action to the Kalamazoo County Fairgrounds for an ESPN broadcast in 1989.
Henry Ford revolutionized the auto industry and made Michigan the car capital of the country. It only makes sense that monster trucks would be invented in the Motor City as well. Seventy thousand people packed the Pontiac Sliverdome in 1982 to see Bigfoot demolish two cars at the first-ever monster truck show. Later in the decade, the car crushers had their own racing series and were touring the country to the delight of fans everywhere.
