The episode explores how Henry Ford's Model T transformed manufacturing and society in the early 20th century. We examine the revolutionary assembly line process that reduced production time from 12.5 hours to 93 minutes, and how the $850 price tag in 1908 dropped to $260 by 1925. The social impact is analyzed through the lens of worker wages, rural mobility, and the emergence of America's first car culture, including the creation of the first highways and roadside services.
