Automobile with Combustion Engine (~1920)
The automobile was probably the most significant invention in the 20's. Although an automobile, which was powered by steam, was invented in 1866, this car was moved by a fuel powered combustion engine. Invented by Henry Ford, these cars were more affordable to the public and were made by the hundreds to sell. The "Model-T" was the fist car to roll off the assembly line, and into the hearts of the Americans. The people could even pick any color they desired, "as long is it's black". By 1927, the "Model-T"was found on the streets across America. The coming of the automobile created more jobs, better transportation, and more significantly, cultural changes. Suddenly people were dating more often and going on vacations. Henry Ford later founded the famous Ford Company.
