From Ford's bold decision to leave his job at Detroit Edison in 1899, through the discovery of vanadium steel and Barney Oldfield's record-breaking races in the "999," to Charles F. Kettering's electric starter that finally freed drivers from the tyranny of hand-cranking, this story traces the innovations and determination that put a car on every American road. Watch as the automobile evolved from a curiosity needing constant blacksmith repairs into a reliable machine that powered the nation through peace and war alike.
