What if the automobile never went mainstream?
Manage episode 340549293 series 2837280
The automobile was invited at the end of the 19th century by Karl Benz. Henry Ford would make it affordable to the masses with his Model T, which was made affordable by the invention of a new manufacturing method called the assembly line. Following the Great War, the way travel occurred would change forever. Cars could be seen all over. Instead of the horse buggy, this new horseless gas carriage would be moving people and products through cities and across the country. And although the world would adopt cars to move from A to B, America is especially impacted by it with its car culture and trucking culture.
How would America and the world develop during the 20th century if Ford's Model T wasn't affordable to the masses, and the automobile remained an item of luxury rather than of need?
