[00:00:00]Ford began with one stubborn idea.

[00:00:03]Henry Ford believed a car should not be a toy for rich people.

[00:01:10]Their first car was the Model A, and early sales helped the company survive.

[00:01:15]But the real turning point came later when Ford focused on making one dependable car in huge numbers.

[00:01:28]Soon, Ford [music] improved factory work with the moving assembly line, making cars faster and cheaper to build.
