At the start of the 20th Century, there were 8,000 cars in the US and 25,000 worldwide. By 1985 there were more than 375 million cars worldwide (“car”). One company that changed the way of car production was The Ford Motor Company. The owner of this company was named Henry Ford. He was born on July 30, 1863, and died on April 7, 1947, (Gelderman). Ford came up with an idea where he would just make one car model called the Model T so he could mass produce cars. He did this so that he would use the same types of materials and save money.
