What were car prices in 1900s?

Answer 1

High. Until 1913, all cars all over the world were hand-built from custom parts. Although, Henry Ford did NOT invent the car, he was the first to apply the ideas of having each car have interchangeable parts and using an assembly line to put them together. Previously, like any custom build (even today) costs ran high because there had to be skilled workers to build each part, assemble the vehicle, AND to recreate parts to replace broken ones that would fit in the originals' space when they failed.
