Four years later the price dropped to $575.o0 and sales soared. By 1914 Ford claimed at least 48% of the car market. Before machines made cars each car had to be assembled individually by a team of craftsmen.

  4. Fast facts Henry Ford didn’t invent the car like everyone thinks ,a man called Karl Benz did in 1886. A famous Henry Ford quote ’’ You can have any colour car you want as long as its black’’.

Ford completed his first car at 2am on June 6th 1896 but the car was too big for the door frame and it took an hour to knock the bricks to make a hole wide enough for the car to fit through. (P.S.
