His son Edsel Ford was in control of the company during most of ww2. He resumed control after his son died in 1943, but he was an ancient and frail geriatric and almost every decision was made by someone else. He objected to the company manufacturing planes.

And ford Europe supported the German War effort wholeheartedly even under the leadership of Edsel Ford. And edsel approved of this. The US government forced these companies to supply the war effort at home.

Willow Run was a new facility, not a conversion of an existing facility. The government was spending infinite fiatbux for planes and severely restricting automobile purchases, you had to get special government permission to buy a new car during WW2. So Ford would've gone bankrupt if he didn't produce military hardware and all of the more kosher, FDR friendly businesses would've taken over his share of the economy. Ford was a wealthy and powerful man, but sadly not wealthy or powerful enough to destroy degeneracy and provide America with the TKD & TND that it needs.
