Henry Ford Heads for the High Frontier (Robert Bell, Space News)

The year was 1908 and the automobile was the prestige product of the age.  Designed by brilliant engineers with names like Daimler and Benz, they were built one at a time by skilled craftsmen and sold in small numbers to the very wealthy.

In that year of 1908, it all changed – because that was the year when the first Model T rolled off Henry Ford’s assembly line.  The car cost 23,000 of today’s dollars, and the price fell every year until – a decade later – Model Ts made up half of all cars in America.
