Every Man's Car
Never was a technology
better suited for a country. America was a big,
wide-open place and Americans were a restless people,
always on the move. The car greatly increased American
mobility. And in a materialistic society, it became an
instant status symbol. Sex, speed, and status. The car
has always been about the pursuit of that unholy
American trinity.
Henry Ford envisioned his
car as the 'every man's' automobile. So it was from
farmer to salesmen, from a casual drive to the general
store to transportation to an important business, the
Model T liberated millions of people who had never
traveled more than 12 miles from their homes.
