Killed before he produced his first Ford car and Ford plant. Would Mercedes-Benz be today's low cost economy car instead if the company known as FORD never existed in time.
I'm thinking mass production techniques would have been delayed 10 years and eventually picked up by GM or Dodge. This may have affected the outcome of WW1. John Dillinger would have been captured much sooner without the Ford V8. Unions may have become more powerful without resistance from Ford. Jews would have overran all facets of the US/World economy without Ford writing his International Jew books and we would all be a part of Israel now and all the muslims would all be dead.
I must be missing something here. OP, why did you choose the word "executed"? That seems totally bizarre. Had Henry Ford been in jail for some crime before he became well known? Why did you not choose more straightforward and neutral wording such as, "What if Henry Ford never came along?"
Isn't the answer clear in any case? Take any innovator and assume he died of some disease at a young age or something. Somebody else would have come along sooner or later and done the same thing, or a very similar thing. For example Isaac Newton is credited with developing differential calculus, which is the underpinning of so much of our modern science and engineering. But Leibnitz in Germany came up with it about the same time, both unbeknownst to the other.

But Carl Benz was influential during Henry Ford's life. Would he have been more influential in the non luxury car market today if Ford's company was never created? Maybe Dodge would be more powerful in the industry too without Ford in the game.
There'd be no Superman today. Instead we'd have super Eleanor. Lol.
In SNL's early years they had a recurring sketch called "What If?" which was panelists discussing alternative scenarios. One of them was "What if Superman's rocket had landed in Nazi Germany rather than the US?"
The result was Uberman who wins the war for them by killing everyone in England. He also scopes out Jews trying to pass themselves off as as Aryan using his x-ray vision on their crotches.
Modern management methods, mass production, system or program management came together for Ford. He did not invent them he used those aspects to his advantage. If not him then another as actually proved with surviving automobile companies.
The Chevrolet V8 coupe gained quite a bit of market share when it was introduced. Leading to Ford improving their vehicle and bringing out a new model.
There are other alternatives to MB in the time period for low cost cars. Why did you focus on MB instead other known low cost vehicle manufacturers of the early thru mid 20th century? You did write economy and low cost in the OP.
Also you wrote executed in the header. There is generally a different usage intent between killed and executed. What would Ford be executed for?
