Is it true that Henry Ford forgot to put reverse gear in the first car he made?

This site doesn't precisely explain the reasons for your question, but it does seem to imply that reverse gears simply weren't thought of, or perhaps thought to be of any importance. There were, by the way, several manufacturers and inventors who came out with cars well before Mr. Ford, and Ransom Olds is known to have experimented with the assembly line process before Ford made it successful. http://www.innerauto.com/Automotive_Articles/Automotive_Developments_1895_1907/ May 17 06, 10:32 PM

What did Henry Ford forget to put in the first automobile he built? Is it true Harrison Ford got that little scar on his chin from a car accident? Is the car the Ford KA pronounced Ford K.A. or Ford 'car'? Is this true that a place in Canada has a reverse gravitational pull, that is, if you go to the foot of a hill switch of your car engine, the car will by itself go uphill. And what is the reason behind that?
