Oldsmobile - Buick - and Cadillac all had their centenials - why does Ford get to advertise there's?
Watch someone go and say Ford invented the assembly line. |

#1, I hated hated hated hated it in Elementary school, when we supposed to choose an inventor, and a LOT of people (my age) chose Henry Ford and talked about how he invented the car >_< AAAAAAHHHHHRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried telling the teacher after class that they were all WRONG, but she just said, "This was supposed to be a fun assignment..." DUMB BITCH.
I had told her I wanted to do Cugnot, widely considered to be the REAL inventor of the motorized vehicle...but she wouldn't let me, citing the fact that my classmates probably hadn't heard of him...(and I bet she hadn't either. again, DUMB BITCH.)

| #3, He didn't invent it - he improved upon Richard Arkright's design. |

| the assembly line actually came into use in slaughter houses. they'd basically take a carcass and they'd have one person cut off a section of meat (i.e flank, ribs, etc..) and it would move down the line where another person would do the same. this was back in like the mid to late 1800s |

| #2, Henry Ford made the car available to just about everyone... he brought the price down to the average working man. That's his big claim... and he did it using modern assembly techniques... the end. |
