Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company's Standard and DeLuxe models each wore different faces for 1938. Standard-series cars largely retained the look of Ford's 1937 models, while DeLuxe cars -- like those seen here -- received new curved grilles and a separate set of hood louvers. The 1938 Ford DeLuxe Tudor sedan started at $725. Total Ford production for the calendar year was 410,048 cars.

America's cars symbolize mobility, but they spend 95 percent of their time parked. Storing cars is a longstanding challenge, and every solution brings new problems. Parking lots and structures transform urban and suburban landscapes, parking meters and tickets exasperate city drivers, and residential garages have moved from the back yard onto the house itself. There are as many as a billion parking spots in the United States -- one heck of a lot.
