1.2.6 Conveyor assembly
Once the cars began to be in the market, only select persons could afford to buy them, because, as it was already mentioned above, they were expensive. This resulted in low sales. Many young companies could not compete with more eminent ones and disappeared.
Great engineer, designer and genius businessman, Henry Ford, who in 1913 launched line assembly of the Ford-T model (Tin Lizzie), which he invented in 1908, decided to correct this situation. In this way, Ford managed to keep the price of a midsize car as low as possible. The aforementioned can only be supplemented with numbers: in the period until 1917, 785,432 cars were sold. This led to a decrease in the price of the "T" model to $ 350.
