=**Automobiles and the 1920s**=

The automobile made one of the biggest impacts in our history. It made life more convenient in terms of traveling to work, running errands, or visiting. Some key people were involved in the process of inventing the automobile, but Henry Ford had one of the biggest impacts since he revolutionized the industry bringing the automobile to the average American at a very affordable price. He did this by mass producing the automobile on the assembly line. This means that almost everyone in America had an automobile, including each of the suspects. In the 1920s, Ford had competition from General Motors and the new Chrysler Corporation. None of our suspects had a Chrysler...Mr. Hill has a Chrysler and the suspects were jealous of his Sebring Convertible! One of the suspects owns a Ford, the other five own a car manufactured by General Motors. An eye witness saw a mysterious automobile driving away from the mansion the night of the robbery. The eyewitness couldn't tell exactly what the make and model was but could tell that it was red.
