The automobile

The automobile dates back to nineteenth century Germany with their horseless carriages. However, America's involvement with the motorcar is great. It is especially fantastic with Henry Ford's Model T, which revolutionized the industry by introducing the assembly line, which sped up the manufacturing process and allowed for every American to have an automobile. Even tires are a part of Americana. Many cars until the nineties had whitewalls, although it was common to switch to blackwalls due to the tendency for whitewalls to get dirty and ugly. Redline tires were popular on muscle cars due to their resemblance to racing tires, as were raised-white-letter.
