The first automobile to come equipped with anti-lock brakes was the 1966 Jensen FF. It used the the Dunlop Maxaret anti-lock braking system, which was originally developed for aircrafts. By today’s standards, The anti-skid system of the Jensen FF may be considered crude and unreliable, it was a then astounding technological breakthrough. The Lincoln Continental Mark III improved on the original concept three years later in 1969. He placed the sensors on the rear wheels and successfully regulated the pressure on the rear brakes when they start locking up.

Produced by the British manufacturer Jensen between 1966 and 1971, The Jensen FF was an all-wheel drive GT car. The Jensen FF was a very influencial vehicle in technical aspects, but it failed to click with the masses and did not achieve commercial success. FF stands for Ferguson Formula, Ferguson was the inventor of the all wheel drive system, which was the first on a production sports car.

The "Model-T", or colloquially known as Tin Lizzie and the Flivver, was the first car to be mass-produced. The first assembly ine was launched in 1908 by Henry Ford’s Ford Motor Company. He was able to manufacture the Model-T for mass consumption, and he offered it to customers at a much affordable price compared to the rival: therefore regaled as the first affordable automobile and dubbed as the car which "put America on wheels". The success was largely attributed to a few of Ford’s innovations, some of which are the substitution of individual hand crafting for assembly line production, and paying the workers a wage proportionate to the cost of the car. By 1913, Ford was producing half of all cars sold in the United States. And come 1927, he had sold over 15 million units of Model-Ts.

The first production Model T was built in Detroit, Michigan on September 27, 1908, at the Piquette Plant.

Plymouth fanatics insist that the Baracuda beat the Ford Mustang by about a couple of weeks, the Mustang is widely considered the first "pony car" in automotive history. Pony cars are a class of automobiles first launched in 1964 inspired by larger muscle cars, but engineered to be more compact and affordable.

The Ford Mustang paved the golden way of pony cars–they caught the attention of the consumers and delivered the pony car trend to its success. It was first introduced publicly on the 17th of April in 1964, at the New York World’s Fair. Percieved to be the most successful model ever launched in automobile history, the Ford Mustang gleaned over 22,000 sales on its first day alone and raked over a million sales in its first two years. TheMustang set a trend and inspired a lot of imitators, some of which include: Pontiac Firebird, Mercury Cougar and Chevrolet Camaro. But success was sweetly enjoyed by the Mustang alone.
