Ford's Model A was first sold on December 2, 1927. It was a vastly improved version of its predecessor the Model T. Prices ranged from $385 for the Roadster and $1400 for the top of the line Town Car. It was another huge success from Ford and would turn out to be one of the most sucessful cars of its time. Another popular thing of its time was credit. Credit was when a person didn't have finances to pay for something at one time, but theoretically would pay with an installment plan to be able to purchase the item. Credit was used by a fair amount of buyers as a way to purchase an item when they didn't necessarily have the funds to do so. The use of a credit card today is esentially the same thing as credit many years ago. Credit was used on the purchase of cars but manufacturers and dealers had to be careful with this this sytem for they could lose money easily.
Americans wanted to secure economic independence after world war I in fear of being controlled by foreign powers. The Fordney McCumber Tariff was used to help protect farms and factories by taxing goods from Europe. The United States also made loans to European countries, which often resulted in those countries purchasing more American goods.
