Ford’s Ten-Millionth Car Sets Transcontinental Pace
Henry Ford receives credit for expanding affordable automobiles as the Ten Millionth Ford car completed a near four thousand mile cross country trip with minimal adjustments and no mechanical issues. The journey, spanning dirt and gravel roads through the West and Rockies, averaged about 110 miles per day over six weeks and ends with routing toward the Pacific Coast before shipping to San Francisco and returning to Detroit. Also noted is Bishop Cheshire offering Raleigh apartments at five dollars monthly rent reduction to couples with children, a reversal of common housing practices.
