1908- Henry Ford begins making the Model T. What I found interesting was they made 10 660 cars in their first- year production. It's interesting because that's a lot of cars made in their first year.
1911- Electric Starter Introduced. This is interesting and very important because without Charles Kettering's invention of the electric starter we would probably still be starting our cars by hand cranking or some other way. Electric starters are simple and easy to use, they're also very quickly and comfortable.
1935- Flashing turn signals introduced. This is important for safety because when you use signal lights you're letting others know ahead of time when you're about to turn off somewhere so they know to slow down. Also it's interesting because if the Delaware company didn't invent them then we could possibly be all still using hand signals or signal lights wouldn't be as advanced.
1939- First air conditioning system added to automobiles. I find this interesting because without the first air conditioner, there wouldn't be much chance of us having air conditioners now.
