The Automobile

By Julie L. Sinclair

Henry Ford envisioned designing an automobile that anyone could buy. Because of Ford's innovations in car manufacturing, the automobile became a popular and commonplace means of transportation. But in order to achieve this world-altering feat, Ford had to study the work of other inventors who came before him. And to this day, engineers continue to build upon this history of invention, resulting in the variety of automobiles driven today. From Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot's steam-powered vehicle in the 1700s to the fully electric cars in production today, this book explores the invention and evolution of the automobile.
