[00:22.09]In 1908, Ford began production of the Model [00:25.80]T Ford, the motor car that would change [00:29.04]the world forever. [00:31.27]The Model T Ford was the first mass production [00:34.64]car in the world. [00:36.48]Before 1908, when Ford's cars became available [00:39.85]to the public, [00:41.01]it was only the very rich who could afford [00:43.11]to own a car. [00:45.10]Ford found a way to mass-produce [00:47.17]the motor car cheaply,making it possible [00:50.20]for many more people to own one. [00:53.13]The Model T Ford was simple, [00:55.90]practical and cheap.It was a huge success. [01:00.14]Between 1908 and 1927, [01:03.24]Ford made and sold over 18 million Model T cars [01:08.77]By the 1930s, people in America [01:11.58]wanted something more then the Model T Ford. [01:14.19]They didn't want cars to just be practical; [01:17.91]they wanted them to look beautiful too. [01:21.16]Soon car companies,like Ford, [01:23.12]were forced to change their car production [01:25.80]to suit the public's needs. [01:27.87]Stylish cars became popular in Amercia. [01:29.87]
