Alt history where workers rioted and took over all Ford Motor Co factories. Management and executives were put on trial. Henry Ford was executed and his wealth seized. The name of the company was changed to Revolution Motor Co. After the American Communist Revolution in the 1960s, the company was nationalized and began phasing out personal automobiles. It would go on to produce primarily mass transit vehicles and bicycles for the American public. In the late 1970s, the US would enter a cooperative effort with Chinese communists to provide mass transport to nations recovering from imperial control. They would call it the New Silk Road Initiative.

Just Man in the Highcastleing myself out of sheer cope.

Revolution Motor Co

They then made massive strides in rotary engines (Yes I love the RX-7 why do you ask?)

Personal automobiles were phased out in this reality. Rotary busses and trains?

I mean if we're still gonna have combustion engines might as well have fun with them.
