In 1918 the same year that Chevrolet became part of General motors they released the first truck. The truck was based on the Model 490 car frame. Six years later Chevrolet opened another plant in Copenhagen, Denmark; it was the first plant outside the U.S. and helps put Chevy on top of Ford selling over one million car and tucks. Back in the United States during the spring of 1929 the Chevrolet Six was released called “a six for the price of a four.” It was called that because the other companies offered a four-cylinder engine for the same price. In 1934 Chevy started to innovate even more introducing independent suspension on the 1935 model master series.
Ford created the automobile industry, which employed thousands of workers and inspired new industries as well (Heritage, 2010).The new industries included but were not limited to: gas stations, mechanics, fast food restaurants drive-ins (pig stands) and motels (A&E, 2006). Cars basically changed the way people lived, how they spend their leisure time and where they worked at (Roak et al., 2011). With cars people could travel further to work, vacation or to other cities. Ford not only inspired new automobiles and jobs but he also attracted competition. Walter Percy Chrysler was one of the last independent car manufacturers to enter the automobile industry; he established the Chrysler Corporation in 1924 (Peterson, 2013).By the end of the 1920s decade there were three major leading automobile industries: Ford, General Motors, and
The first vehicle made by Henry Ford himself was in 1896 and was called the "Quadricycle. "(Ambrose, Steven/Brinkley, Douglass) This vehicle had four wheels and resembled that of a bicycle, it used a tiller for steering such as a boat would, and had two forward speeds but no reverse gear (Ambrose, Steven/Brinkley, Douglass). Henry sold this prototype of a car for $200 and then began to watch as the automobile industry started by him began to expand (Ambrose, Steven/Brinkley, Douglass). Once Ford built his own factory, he started to think up a plan to build a car that was both efficient and affordable that most people could have. This car finally emerged from a secret room that he had built in his factory, it was to be called the Model T. For eight hundred and twenty five dollars a customer could purchase a Model T. The Model T was a light 1,200 lbs, had a relatively powerful 20 horsepower engine, and was fairly easy to drive with a two speed foot controlled transmission (Kimes, Beverly).
The automobile changed technology for a lifetime. It introduced the assembly line which led to mass production of cars. In 1921 there were one million cars produced. The last main idea in the chapter, at least in my opinion is how they talk about city vs. country living. Henry Ford came from a farming family.
My position on this topic ford is better than Chevy. Fords are the longest running cars on the road. There parts are the longest lasting parts on the car where as Chevy uses plastic parts like u joints. Fords transmission last longer then another make even the high end cars. Also For example, fords motors can with stand higher performance modifications, and high rpms.
In 1961, Vice President and general manager, Lee Lacocca had a vision. He wanted a car that would seat four, have bucket seats; a floor mounted shifter, but to be no longer than 180 inches and weight less than 2500 pounds. This car would sell for less than $2,500.00. This vision allowed the Mustang to be born. On March 9th, 1954 the first Mustang rolled off the assembly line.
