Nick Walters Assignment 7

On October 1^st, 1908, Henry Ford introduced the model T car to the world. The model T car was a basic model, 4 cylinders and 22 horsepower. It was a very basic car. It only came in black and it was made on an assembly line. It costed 825 dollars at the time, which is the same as 18,000 today. It was fairly expensive, but it was built for the everyday person. It was stronger and more durable than the cars that came before it, but also faster and just as affordable, making it a good car to own. It influenced the nation because before the model T, cars were a luxury item that only the upper class people could own. The model T was affordable and very usable for a family, and made cars much more common to the general population. This was a very event that took place. It modernized our nation and led to the industrial revolution.
