How AD Built a Mass Market Automobile Empire
The narrative tracks AD expanding production and advertising to reach millions of buyers. By 1921 a six cylinder self starting car sold for 1000 dollars, profits per car shrinking as volumes rose. By 1938 AD produced a top line vehicle at 750 dollars, broadening ownership and sustaining a successful business.

In a factory office dialogue, OD and AD credit advertising with expanding car ownership. They note that advertising lowers costs and enables better cars at lower prices, claiming adoption grew as prices fell from about 1500 dollars over 30 years and profits funded further improvements.
