AutoFame Podcast – Episode 3: The Brass Era & The Ford Revolution

In this episode of the AutoFame Podcast, host Kevin Brady takes listeners through the Brass Era (1896–1915), a transformative period when automobiles evolved from experimental machines into a mass-market industry. This was the era when early automakers competed fiercely, but one man would change the game forever—Henry Ford.

The episode explores:

How the Model T revolutionized transportation, making cars affordable and accessible for the average person.
The impact of Ford's moving assembly line, which reduced car production time from 12 hours to just 93 minutes.
How Ford's innovations transformed society, from road expansion to the rise of a car-owning middle class.
The decline of brass-era luxury cars, as practical and affordable automobiles took over the market.

Listeners will discover how Henry Ford's vision helped shape the modern auto industry, leading to the rise of mass production, infrastructure growth, and car culture as we know it today.

Tune in to learn how the automobile became more than just a machine—it became a way of life.
