At the end, it seems like a video created by a car sales guy !!! :)

Get to the end and it seems more like a PSA to keep dealerships open, instead of a "history" lesson.

Although I am pretty familiar with the history of automobiles, it is still nice seeing it illustrated. Great video!

Ford's principal manufacturing techniques included the minimization of skilled labour, in order to both reduce manufacturing cost by lowering total salaries as well as keep the workforce easily replacable. Were there any talk about strikes, trade unions or workplace conditions it was soon to be distinguished. This strategy is reffered to as "fordism", and some argue that todays automated and streamlined philosophy of production should be concidered post-fordist. There is a similar theory regarding southeast asian production, though its name escapes me at the moment. I would think this VERY important in an analysis of Henry Ford and the ford brands implication on the car market and industry and thus our automotive culture. Do you even science, bro?

I wanted to know about the beginnings of the auto industry and boom I get this amazing video

There are a lot of inaccuracies in this video. Ransom Olds left Olds Motor very early and went on to REO Motor Car. Dodge brothers had nothing to do with Olds machine shop (though they did make parts for the company in 1901 after the factory in Detroit burned down), and, the Dodge brothers didn't leave for a 10% stake in Ford. When Ford couldn't pay them for parts they made, they took stock in exchange.

Excellent job on this video! My grandfather sold Willies cars, they went out of biz (as cars) and Pontiac asked him to sell their cars, dad took over that dealership from aging grandpa until Pontiac decided to put all small dealers out. I sort of chuckeld when Pontiac was dropped by GM, but still have many great memories.

It died when they put out the Aztek but nobody bothered to tell them for 10 years

Great Video but can you do a real full history like more than hour or so for american cars and japenese and chinese car too ???

I don't necessarily agree with the human element argument in this video. I watch reviews online by a bunch of car reviewers to help make my choice, which is far more helpful that a person with the predetermined mind that his/her product is the best. I can get all my questions answered online Except of course, you consider those review videos as "human element," since it _is_ a human I'm watching.

They refer as the human element to going to dealerships so you can get phisical demonstrations of the vehicles youre hinting to buy, both static and test drives. Because buying a car is still an emotional decision you want to get a grip of what your buying by experiencing it which you can't get online just by viewing videos and webpages. It also includes the helpcfor the financial and legal processes of buying a car and getting you better deals and promotions, warranty and used car intakes among other services. Does it make sense to you?

I agree with you Armoterra, I have absolutely no use for a human in the purchase process. I also do not have the option to just order from a manufacturer directly nor do not have the option to defer buying a warranty. So to make the argument in the first place is disingenuous and ultimately a fallacy because no data exists for purchasing directly.

I think this video is aimed at the American automotive industry, as it's an American automotive sales training company. Perhaps it should have been titled - "History of the American Car Business." But France's auto industry isn't the only international automotive industry that wasn't more specifically explained or analyzed. Again, as I assume the focus of the video is specifically the American car industry, it would make sense that the video is lacking in more international content.

p.s....I kind of glad grandpa and dad aren't around today to see what GM has become, just my opinion.

Wrong title, please correct it. It's focused on american reality/perspective and just wasted my time. This is not what I'm looking for

The next era of cars is : i dont want to own . i dont want to drive, just want to use a car.

And now TOYOTA motor corporation is #1

Just Fuck It ! By an Alfa Spider !

Wow

The Car market is NOT what it should be... What ever happened to Henry's idea of a Car that everybody could afford. ? EV's have 1000's less parts to manufacture, and should be the cheapest of all cars.. Yet, they cost a lot more... Cars are increasingly becoming a poor value for your money.. People buy for their image and feelings, which is okay, unless your getting ripped off.. which is usually the case... as always, the one rule in car buying is : *BUYER BEWARE* !

Better update this video to now include the total change to the climate of the industry to now include the global chip shortage!! It has once again changed the entire business nearly overnight!

and now nine years later we’re facing an unprecedented chip shortage so y’all can’t get new cars ha

It is a unique experience but many of the sales people are vultures.

I need a car salesman like I need a hole in the head

What about the black man Charles Patterson. He doesn't fit in your story huh? Smh

This information is inaccurate

I love how this ignoramus totally ignores Frances car industry. And no I'm not french.
