October 1st, 1908 marked the beginning of the personal car for the masses. Ford's Model T began rolling off the assembly lines and began to rapidly change not only the nation but the world. The creation of an assembly line allowed for the Model T to be purchased by those who had previously been bared from the owning of the horseless carriage due to the sheer price of them but now they where cheap and easily accessible to many and kicked off the beginning of the automobile as a popular form of transportation. This date is the beginning of a transportation revolution that would forever change America and the world. Many parts of our culture revolve around the car and would not have been possible if not for Ford's Model T and assembly line.
