=Automotive Industry jordan Ruggles, Dan Gee    = America's first gasoline powered commercial car manufacturers were two brothers, Charles Duryea and Frank Duryea. The brothers were bicycle who became interested in the new gasoline engines and automobiles.

The first car was created to help with transportation, and to help you get places faster. The car was made so you didnt have to walk or ride a horse. It was made to make you get to where you were going faster and easyer. More workers were needed to work at the Ford factories. In January, 1914, Henry had another great idea to double theworkers' wages from $2.50 to $5.00 a day. The day this offer was made, thousands of men showed up to apply for jobs. Workers were very excited about making so much money. They were very proud to work for Ford. People's lives became much better because they had more money to spend. The assembly line also helped to make Henry Ford a hero! The effect of the first car was that everyone wanted one and the ones that had one was very lucky. The were very happy that they could just get in it and go and that they didnt have to walk all over. henery ford was the first mass production of automobile. The assembly line was made in the early 1900's 1932 Ford roadster

The Model T made its debut in 1908 with a purchase price of $825.00. Over ten thousand were sold in its first year, establishing a new record. Four years later the price dropped to $575.00 and sales soared. By 1914, Ford could claim a 48% share of the automobile market.

The assembly line allowed the workers to stay in one spot. Instead of the worker going to the car, the car came to the workers on a 250 foot long assembly line. Each man had just one simple job to do. For example, if a man put a bolt on, he would not put the nut on. The conveyer was carefully timed to allow the worker to do his job and keep the line moving. The time it took to put a ca r together was getting better all the time. The car made without the assembly line took 14 hours to make. With the assembly line, it took 93 minutes to make a car. Cars could also be sold for cheaper prices because of the time and cost saved in making the automobiles.

The industry evolved by making a assembly line, they started to hire people to make cars faster and faster. It went from one person making a car to a whole line making them daily. Henery ford owned the first line of car making. He also manged it. The goverment thought that it was a step up in to the future and wanted them.
