They became top for 5 years then went bankrupt due to money. This allowed Ford to move back to number 1 as Chevy and Honda were first introduced to the market.

Cars and Society Today
When there were no cars around people had to either walk(which 78% of people had to do),or they used bicycles which were expensive for a lot of people.The fastest way to get around back then was horses. Today, we have cars that help save a lot of time each day by being able to get from place to place in a timely manner. Though people are able to save time, there are a few negative things that cars did as well. Air pollution increased due to the oil and gas that is used to run the automobiles and it made purchasing parts for automobiles more expensive.
