will build a motor car for the great multitude. It will be large enough for the
family, but small enough for the individual to run and care for. It will be constructed
of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs
that modern engineering can devise. But it will be so low in price that no man
making a good salary will be unable to own -- and enjoy with his family the blessings
of hours of pleasure in God's great open spaces." Henry
Ford, 1907 |
Henry
Ford was the American
founder of the Ford Motor Company
and father of
modern assembly
lines used in mass production.
His introduction of the
Model T
automobile revolutionized
transportation and
American industry.

part items for sale will be inside. | | MARCH
