Excerpt from The Importance of the Model Change
My question to these skeptics is: If this were done, would our industry produce as many new product improvements as it does?
Back in 1912 Mr. R. E. Olds published an ad that has become a classic in automobile circles. My farewell car, the ad proclaimed. I do not believe that a car materially better will ever be built.
What if all manufacturers had adopted this atti tude back in 1912? If they had, I am afraid the horse would have continued to be a serious competitor to what would still be our chugging roadsters and bouncing touring cars.
