American society before the invention of the automobile was a society divided by class. You were rich and mobile or poor and not. You lived on the farm or lived in the city and the car changed your way of life. In the beginning of American automobile history - thousands of companies surfaced trying to make their custom vehicle the top selling automobile. Companies like Winton, Pierce Arrow, Packard, Duesenberg, Hudson, and Studebaker who no longer exist today impacted the American auto industry by profound automotive inventions such as front wheel drive, dual overhead cams, and hydraulic brakes.
The 1906 Model H Cadillac starts the timeline of the museum but it is not the first American car manufactured. Our automotive roots began with Charles Duryea who was the first American automobile manufacturer producing 13 gasoline powered cars in 1896. Ransom E. Olds took the position of mass producing automobiles and creating the assembly line. In 1901, his assembly line produced 425 horseless carriage cars in a single year. Improvements were made to the assembly line and in 1902 he produced 2,500 curved dash Oldsmobiles. Many credit Henry Ford for the modern assembly line but he improved Old’s concept by installing conveyer belts which cut his manufacturing time from a day and a half to 90 minutes. Henry Ford neither created the first automobile or the assembly line but his Model T transformed the nation’s way of life by changing cars from luxury to necessity and providing an affordable automobile for the masses. Ford revolutionized manufacturing by implementing the eight hour day creating a three shift work day and doubling his employee’s wages to five dollars a day. Ford’s biggest competitor was General Motors which was formed in 1908 incorporating Buick Motor Company.
