Hnery Ford wanted to develop a reliable, inexpensive car for the average American market. His success with this venture came with the introduction of the Model T Ford to American consumers on 1 October 1908. Ford managed to retain the car as affordable for everyone by employing new and revolutionary mass production methods, with completely interchangeable parts. When first introduced, the Model T cost only $850, and was available only in black.
Although only 11 cars were produced in the first month, by 1914, the assembly process had become so streamlined that it took only 93 minutes to assemble a car. Improved assembly line technique and volume brought the price of the Model T down to about $300 by the 1920s. This made the technology available to a much wider range of "common people", and enabled more people to enjoy the benefits of quicker, easier transport.
