In 1908, Henry Ford built the first Model T which sold for $825. By 1913, he introduced the moving assembly line which provided for a significant increase in efficiency and a decrease in the cost of production. By 1916, the
cost of the Model T reduced to $360. The ability to allow costs to be low through standardization allowed for over 15 million Model Ts to be sold over nearly 20 years.
