Automobile Industry
1997 Ford Taurus
The automobile industry was revolutionized with the invention of the Model T. The T’s affordability (half the price of the average car in 1908) caused the automobile’s transformation from a toy for the wealthy, into a hard-working vehicle for all Americans.[30] From 1905 to 1925 the number of registered vehicles in the U.S. skyrocketed from 79,000 to 20.1 million, mainly as a result of the T.[31] That number continued to grow. Clearly, today's multibillion dollar industry was sparked the Model T. Its practicality and superior craftsmanship caused the T to become the standard for automobiles produced in the U.S., including both the left-side steering wheel and Vanadium steel for the body.
