“I will build a motor car for the great multitude...constructed of the best
materials, by the bestmen to be hired, afterthe simplest designsthat modern
engineering can devise… so low in price that no
man making a good salary will be unable to own one and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in God’s great open spaces.”
– Henry Ford
