Cars in the 1920s were made of metal but had wood as the wheels. One of the most popular cars were the ford models which included the Ford Model A and the Ford Model T. The rapid growth of cars is because of Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company. They produce a new style of car each year to keep up with the demands of the public. The new roads had to be redesigned and rebuilt to accommodate the growth of the automobiles. Road rules had to be introduced, standardized road signs erected, and methods of controlling traffic. The car enabled travel farther so they wouldn’t have to travel by foot or by a horse. Hotels became more popular and there were more getting built due to more people traveling in there vehicles. At one of the biggest motor vehicle events in 1927 a new car was introduced. This car was the Ford Model A. The ownership of automobiles created a major distinction among social classes and the areas in which people lived and worked. In the suburban living areas automobiles allowed for flexibility in the living areas of the working class. These people no longer had to live near train stations and trolley lines for transportation to their areas of employment. People who lived in urban areas could be assumed as people who could not afford automobiles. Because of the increase of cars, job opportunities had increased. To have new cars meant longer distances were traveled. This led to the development of new businesses, including gas stations, automobile repair services, motels, convenience stores, and roadside restaurants. The American people themselves were greatly affected by the automobile, in negative ways as well as positive. Rural Americans could drive around freely and examine the world around them and were known as "Sunday Drivers", whereas more urban Americans would drive into the hustle and bustle of the city. The automobile helped the economy to meet the demands of those who would use the automobile to travel through the United Sates. The negative affect of the automobiles was that many people couldn’t afford them because they either had no job or they had no money to afford the cars. The average cost of a car in the 1920s was $575 but some cars cost more than that. Although this is a cheap price for a car to us. For the people that live back in the 1920s it was an expensive car to them because they didn’t make a lot of money back then and had little to spend on a car. This is why many of the cars bought were form people who lived in the suburban areas that could afford them. As the 20s went one man’s cars were becoming more popular by the year. This man was Henry Ford. H
