1900s CarMania - 1909 Ford Model T Touring
Ford Motor Company, founded in 1903, quickly gained dominance over the automotive world. The Model T, like this 1909 Ford Model T Touring car, set wheels turning, both figuratively and literally. This singular invention unleashed global innovations and desires to which the average man could aspire. Nicknamed the Tin Lizzie, the car is the world's first mass-produced automobile. Although it lacked some of the sophistication of its more expensive European rivals during its first decade of production, Ford managed to bring the vehicle's cost within reach of the ordinary American family's financial means. This example is an early Model T built before Henry Ford's efficient assembly lines dramatically drove down production costs. Peak output was achieved in 1923 when 1,817,891 models rolled off the production line. If there is one car that changed the world, this is it.

Tattoed Vespa PX200E Lusso Scooter
Piaggio entered the transportation business in the late 1800s by initially producing locomotives. In the 21st century, they are best known for their innovative scooters and motorcycle brands which include Vespa, Moto Guzzi, Derbi, Aprilia, and the eponymous Piaggio. WWII drove many technological innovations in the transportation sector. One of the tiniest wheeled vehicles that debuted during the war was the American Cushman scooter. The Piaggio firm was quick to see the merits of such an agile and inexpensive vehicle to navigate the warn-torn Italian countryside. In 1946, Piaggio introduced the VESPA, which in Italian translates to “wasp’. Apparently, when the Vespa was initially shown to the company founder, the first word he used to describe the new two-wheeled scooter was “wasp”. Happily, the Vespa did not sting but went on to become a global icon for Piaggio. With the debut of the film “Roman Holiday”, the Vespa shared a starring role with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn as the threesome cruised about Roma sans souci. This helped cement global demand and recognition for the lithesome scooter which was easy to care for, inexpensive to operate, and designed in such a way that ladies could easily board the bike wearing skirts.
