The first car made available to to general public (not just rich people) was the Ford Model T. It was mass produced, keeping it cheap enough for the average working man (and in the process perfecting the assembly line), and it’s why everyone has a car nowadays, when it used to be a luxury.
The catch? Every single Model T was painted black because black was the cheapest paint that dried fastest, so they could get Model Ts off the line faster.Every. Single. Car.
Part of why other car manufacturers eventually became more popular was because they offered a color OTHER than black.

Mathilda,
It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.

#13 the first bikini also had newspaper headlines printed on it, to get even more attention. An exotic dancer or prostitute had to present it, because no model would do it
