I agree, I don't think he is heroic. He did acheive great success though and was a large part of the industrial revolution. His ingenuity and inovation lead to the modern factory assembly plants. He did do much hands on work when he took it upon himself to produce a cheap automobile, his goal was not to cater to the elitist class but creat affordable vehicles for farmers. He certainly was a capitalist and began building cars because he figured he would make $50 but the social results of a automobile for the majority has had incredible results in changing the way we live.
