On August 12, 1908, Ford's first Model T was completed at the company's groundbreaking Highland Park, Michigan, assembly plant. Eventually, the company was cranking them out at the rate of one every 24 seconds, and the price dropped to $300, just 1/800 the cost of a 2002 Lambroghini Murcelago. You know what happened next, don't you kids? The democratization of mobility? Well, yes. The creation of the suburbs? Yeah, that too. Massive traffic delays spanning from Smithtown to Philadelphia? Bing!
Still, he was some visionary, that Henry.
