About John Bugas
- John Stephen Bugas (April 26, 1908 – December 2, 1982), known as Jack Bugas, was the second in command at Ford Motor Company during the presidency and chairmanship reign of Henry Ford II (the oldest grandson of founder Henry Ford).
- He is best known for wresting control of the company from Harry Bennett—including drawing pistols on each other—following the death of Edsel Ford. As the Detroit Free Press wrote of Bugas: When the historians write it down a century from now, they will be dealing with Louis Chevrolet, Walter Chrysler, the Dodge brothers, the Durants, Maxwells and others who put their names on the cars Americans drove or the companies that built them.
- But they will also have a tale to tell about John Bugas, who in his time had as dramatic a moment as any of them.
- [Bugas was] a giant of the auto industry and at a time when the industry itself strode around the world in seven-league boots.
