The Model T Ford was the first mass production car in the world. Before 1908，when Fords cars became available to the public, it was only the very rich who could afford to own a car.

Stylish cars became popular in America. 20世纪30年代，美国人想得到除福特T型车外更多的东西。他们希望汽车不仅仅是实用，他们希望汽车看起来更加漂亮一些。不久像福特这样的汽车公司被迫改变了他们的产品以适应公众的需求，时髦的汽车在美国变得流行起来。 　　By the 1950s, cars with much more interesting designs were being produced.
