Ford founded the Ford Motor Company on June 16, 1903. The following month they sold their first car to a Detroit doctor. Ford wanted to make automobiles affordable for everyone, not just the rich. The Model T was invented with this in mind. Ford priced his first Model Ts at $850, undercutting the $2,000 cost of most early cars.
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). This was a simple sturdy and versatile car that Ford hoped would get the public excited. This car went on sale for the customers on October 1, 1908 (Kimes, Beverly). In the first year this car was for sale it set a new record for most cars sold in a year, over ten thousand (Kimes, Beverly). The Model T became a real hit with customers and by the 1924 the ten millionth Model T left the
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.
2a. What is the shortest loan (36 months, 48 months, 60 months or 72 months) that has a monthly payment within your $500 budget that will allow you to buy the $30,000 car? Answer: Through Bank of America, I found a rate of 2.99% for the 36, 48 and 60 month loans. We are able to put down 20% and will need to finance $24,000. The shortest loan period for the $30,000 car that would be under our $500 limit is the 60 month loan at a rate of $431.13 per month.

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.
(nndb.com) How much did things cost in 1958? Compared to today’s prices they seem very low, but it is all relative I suppose. A new house cost between $12,000 and $18,000. A new car would have set you back $2,200. Gas for that new car cost you 25 cents a gallon.
