Seabiscuit (2003): Model T Fords

The clip model t fords from Seabiscuit (2003) with David McCullough

They called it the car for Everyman.
Henry Ford himself called it a car for the "great multitude."
It was functional and simple, like your sewing machine or your cast-iron stove.
You could learn to drive it in less than a day,
and you could get any color you wanted, so long as it was black.
When Ford first conceived the Model T, it took 13 hours to assemble.
Within five years, he was turning out a vehicle every 90 seconds.
Of course, the real invention wasn't the car, it was the assembly line that built it.
Pretty soon, other businesses had borrowed the same techniques.
Seamstresses became button sewers.
Furniture makers became knob turners.
It was the beginning and the end of imagination...
all at the same time.
