In the earlier days of the automotive industry you would only be able to find one car being sold on the marketing. That car was the Ford, yes that is right, the Ford was the first automobile ever made.
It was also the only car sold for a great number of years, and what's more is that you would be able to find it in any color, as long as that color was black (as Mr. Ford said). This, of course, was only until the rest of the car manufacturers realized how great cars were going to be.
In the old days, cars were very expensive, and were bought, mainly by rich folk. You would not find a car driven by the poorer people in the community, unless that person was a butler or chauffeur. The price of cars these days are not that much different from the price in those days, they are still pretty expensive, but more people can afford them these days.
The time when the first car came out was still the time of the horse and the cart, and because money was not flowing like water (like it is now) many people stuck with their horse and cart, and that is what got them from A to B, and worked perfectly well. For many years you would find the horse and cart on the roads among a few cars, until the automotive industry took off.
This was when Mr. Ford and is gang of car people suddenly got busy and started to manufacture more than 100 cars a day. Now, compared to today, this number is not huge, but you have to remember the time we are talking about here. In those times they did not have the machinery we have now. This meant that each car was machined and put together by hand.
You can only guess what the inside of a factory look like in those days, hundreds of workers working on hundreds of different things to put together one little car. At the one end of the factory you had the welding of the body, where the manufacturing started, and at the end of the factory you had the end of the line, the painting of the black cars, where the manufacturing ending.
It was a busy time at the old Ford factory, and since then the car only became stronger and the automotive industry soared because of one man and his group of car people. These days you have tons of cars being manufactured by a lot of different name brands, and even manufacturers who started in other things like appliances.
Okay, so most people can afford a car these days, and that is because not all cars are created equal. You get cheap ones and your get expensive ones. Which one you take depends on the amount of money you earn. The higher priced cars will be those like the Mercedes Benz, the BMW, Porsche and the Ferrari.
