Henry Ford
Interchangeable parts made production faster and easier
Most believe Henry Ford was the first to use the assembly line to mass produce an automobile with his model "T" in 1908 using interchangeable parts. However Ransom E. Olds mass produced his "Curved Dash Olds" from 1901 to 1904 from an assembly line using interchangeable parts.
The Oldsmobile Curved Dashautomobile was the first vehicle mass produced on an assembly line using interchangeable parts from 1901 to 1907.
