Why John Dodge said the Ford wasn't a real car

I heard it called the best business deal in history. The Dodge Brothers were able to negotiate a sweet deal because Ford's track record was terrible, he'd just gone bankrupt, and nobody would finance him. So, $13,000 in parts bought the Dodge's a 10% share in the new Ford Motor Company. When Henry Ford was finally able to buy back their shares years later, it cost him around $11,000,000.

Correction, I just read on wikipedia that it was $25 million, not $11.
