Once upon a time, there was a man named Henry Ford. You may know that name from the company Ford.

Mr. Ford started an amazing company that created cars. He was the creator of the first affordable car for the uncommon people. He was a very smart man.

He wanted to help people explore. He also had to teach people to drive because cars were new to everyone. Before cars, the only transportation was horses and carriages.

He created the Model T. It was the name of the very first car he made. For being a cheaper car, it was very fast! It went around 40-50 miles per hour!

He made the very first Model T in his shed in his backyard. He later moved to a company where he made over 4 million cars.

His cars allowed people to travel the states and freely explore! He had made the invention of a lifetime.

Henry Ford is the reason we have cars today! He created the travel many Americans use to get around.
