Before Henry Ford, the automobile was a luxury—rare, expensive, and out of reach for most people. But in 1908, Ford introduced the Model T, and with it, a bold new idea: that the car should be for the many, not the few.
Ford didn’t invent the car—but he reinvented how it was made. By perfecting the moving assembly line, he transformed automotive manufacturing and dramatically lowered costs. The result? A car that farmers, families, and factory workers could afford.
The Model T wasn’t just a vehicle—it was a movement. It changed how people lived, worked, and traveled. Small towns expanded. Roads were built. Industries grew. Ford’s innovation helped create the modern world.
And it wasn’t just about mechanics. It was about mindset. Accessibility. Progress. Freedom. That’s the legacy of Henry Ford—and of the Model T.
