This is because a dashboard in those days did not mean what we mean now. It meant the wood, piece of wood in front of a carriage to stop the muck kicked up by the horses in front hitting the passengers. So he made a car with a...

dashboard that was curved rather than flat that's all so it's its least interesting feature really but that it became known as the curve dash old boltonville and so a song with a famous song was written about it my merry oldsmobile But the real change came in 1908 when Henry Ford launched his Model T. After that point, America took over the world car business.

Well, it's an interesting question. And it may be just because it had to be somewhere. But what happened was the engineers and people at Ford went to that city. It was a kind of a city ready for industrialization. And the key thing was that Ford started building his Model T in a tiny warehouse in Detroit and then built two huge industrial complexes, the biggest the world had ever seen.

And that meant it was going to be Detroit. And General Motors came out later and so on. And it was all in Detroit. It's just a kind of crucial place.

He hated horses, which was quite crucial, actually. And he took great pride in ridding the world of the need for horses. So he took to engineering on his own, off his own bat. He didn't really have an education in engineering. He just suddenly saw this little machine that was used to drive farming machinery. And he became obsessed with it, how it worked, what it did.

And he started building it himself. And then gradually, he became aware that people were actually making cars out of this machine. He did it. But then there was something about the man that was unbelievably concentrated. So for example, when he actually started work, he built several cars that were quite successful. He became known as a big car maker.

But at some point, he realized that something was missing from the car. What he realized was that the car had to be for everybody. He wanted to make a cheap, reliable, easily serviceable car. And he concentrated all his mind on this. He did it in a special room in Detroit.

The most important thing was possibly his use of vanadium steel, which is a special kind of steel that had been discovered in Britain, I think, first. But then he found it. You can make very light cars out of this stuff. And he believed in lightness, like some people believe in God. You know, it's just lightness in an automobile to him was the most important thing. And it cracked it.
