117 years ago today, on August 12, 1908 (July 16, 1908, the "Model T" Ford car was introduced. Detroit's assembly line shortened the time it took to assemble a Model T car to 14 hours. On August 12, 1908, the first Model T car was driven off the Ford Motor Company assembly line in Detroit. This convertible can seat two people. The price is US$850. This kind of car does not seem unusual, but it is easier to drive and the driver does not necessarily have to have mechanical talents. Ford said maintaining the car, nicknamed the "Lizzy", is easy. At that time, only the privileged class owned cars. Ford wants to make the Model T's price lower so that millions of Americans can afford it.
