Ford heir recalls fatal plan to seize Ford board spot
Benson Ford Jr testified in a 1983 California suit that in 1980 he was part of a three member team including Louis Fuentes and David Webster. He said the plan entailed killing those blocking his path to the Ford Motor Co board and that he feared being used as a puppet if placed on the board. He conceded his cousin Edsel Ford II could be among those targeted.
