| Description |
Describes the vast change the automobile has wrought in the American way of life and indicates that automobile production has become central to our economy. Shows that in the early 1900s a "merry Oldsmobile" was a luxury few could afford, but with the Model-T, the pleasures of motoring became accessible to anyone willing to endure its mechanical eccentricities. Discusses whether or not the modern "compact" car is a symbol of progress, and looks back with nostalgia on the "free-wheeling" adventurous days of the Model-T.
