Résumé

The automobile is, undeniably, the backbone of the last 100years of American society. The likes of Ford, Plymouth, and Chevrolet, defined anew era for the United States, from transcontinental travel to suburban familytransportation. From the mass production of the Model T all the way through tothe electric age of the Tesla, the automobile has been a staple in Americanculture for generations.
