It all started with Ford, they made the first car and continue to make top selling cars and trucks. Import companies may compete, but the fact is that they are only imroving upon what Ford designed decades ago...Bottom line they paved the way

Well all of you are almost right, but not quite. Now for today's history lesson courtesy of excerpts from
about.com
The first car manufacturers in the world were French: Panhard & Levassor (1889) and Peugeot (1891). By car manufacturer we mean builders of entire motor vehicles for sale and not just engine inventors who experimented with car design to test their engines - Daimler and Benz began as the latter before becoming full car manufacturers ...
The first automobile to be mass produced in the United States was the 1901, Curved Dash Oldsmobile, built by the American car manufacturer Ransome Eli Olds
American car manufacturer, Henry Ford (1863-1947) invented an improved assembly line and installed the first conveyor belt-based assembly line in his car factory in Ford's Highland Park, Michigan plant, around 1913-14.
That is all ... class dismissed.
