Shows development of transportation in the United States during the first half of the 20th century, emphasizing growth of automobile industry, roads and highways.  Quite an informative background on the birth of the American car. From Henry Ford's invention of the quadracycle, to the birth of the assembly line to the impact it had on the American way of life, this is quite an educational film.  Since it was sponsored by Ford, it focuses a lot on the Model T.
