Trang 41909 ,featured a standardized design and a streamlined method of production –the assembly lone Its lower costs made it available to the mass market
Cars at the 1900 show ranged in price from $1,000 to $1,500 , or roughly $14,000 to
$21,000 in today’s prices By 1913 , the Model T was selling for less than $300 , and soon the price would drop even further “ I will build cars for the multitides ” Ford said , and he kept his promise
