Fun history of the car Arjit. It is worth remembering also why the automobile was so revolutionary.

By the time of the Model T, the purchase price may have been higher than a horse, BUT they were cheaper over time as they required less “maintenance” than a horse.

The automobile ended rural isolation, connecting farmers with nearby towns.
