While the introduction of the Model T was a transformative moment for the automobile industry because it was the first car that could be afforded by more than just the rich people of the time, it was the assembly line that played the biggest role in its success.
Throughout its first years, this innovation allowed Henry Ford to achieve three major things:
- Made automobile building cheaper, something that resulted in lower prices for each unit.
- The process of making the cars was quicker and more sustainable in the long run.
- As the technology continued to be improved, it opened the possibility for unskilled, non-mechanical savvy workers to be part of the assembly line.
Therefore the answer is A. The assembly line allowed Henry Ford to keep dropping the sale price.
