[00:06.46]America on the wheel

[00:09.00]Although the motor 1 car was invented in 1889

[00:12.43]by a German man called Gottlieb Daimler,

[00:15.48]it was an American man called Henry Ford 2

[00:18.57]who created the motor car as we know it today.

[00:22.09]In 1908, Ford began production of the Model

[00:25.80]T Ford, the motor car that would change

[00:29.04]the world forever.

[00:31.27]The Model T Ford was the first mass production

[00:34.64]car in the world.

[00:36.48]Before 1908, when Ford's cars became available

[00:39.85]to the public,

[00:41.01]it was only the very rich who could afford

[00:43.11]to own a car.

[00:45.10]Ford found a way to mass-produce

[00:47.17]the motor car cheaply,making it possible

[00:50.20]for many more people to own one.

[00:53.13]The Model T Ford was simple,

[00:55.90]practical 3 and cheap.It was a huge success.

[01:00.14]Between 1908 and 1927,

[01:03.24]Ford made and sold over 18 million Model T cars

[01:08.77]By the 1930s, people in America

[01:11.58]wanted something more then the Model T Ford.

[01:14.19]They didn't want cars to just be practical;

[01:17.91]they wanted them to look beautiful too.

[01:21.16]Soon car companies,like Ford,

[01:23.12]were forced to change their car production

[01:25.80]to suit the public's needs.

[01:27.87]Stylish cars became popular in Amercia.
