#ModelT

When Henry Ford introduced the moving assembly line more than a century ago he revolutionized automotive production and ultimately changed the world. But now Honda is turning his time-tested method on its head.

Nearly four years ago, a couple set out to travel around the world in their Ford Model T.

Nestled in the untamed wilds of Northern Michigan, or more specifically the charming mini-metropolis of Traverse City, is a world-class collection of vintage cars you’ve probably never seen or even heard of before.

Like ‘em or not, nicknames are a way of life. Perhaps you were called four eyes as a child because of your glasses. If your teeth were bedazzled with braces train tracks may have been a more appropriate term of endearment.

It’s hard to believe, but the moving assembly line as we know it today in automotive manufacturing is celebrating its 100th birthday.

AutoGuide’s regular “Under the Hood” segment has already explained the vagaries of octane and the advantages of Top Tier gasoline, but there’s so much more to fuel than that. Ethanol, for instance, is a major component of gas, and something that’s a potential peril for consumers. But what is ethanol? And what is E85? Should you run these fuels in your vehicle?

When the Ford Model T first debuted, it was praised for more than just the assembly line it rolled off of: the car was recognized for its durability. 

Chevy has a lot to celebrate this week— the brand turned 100 years old and delivered their millionth Cruze.
