This economic crisis fueled a rise in banditry, with bank robberies becoming particularly notorious. These crimes were made more effective by gangsters ’ use of automobiles. As one analyst observed in the 1920s:  “Cars and good roads have dramatically increased certain types of crime. We now see a new kind of automobile bandit who relies entirely on a car —whether robbing banks, breaking into homes, or mugging pedestrians. ” The criminals ’ success was further enhanced by Thompson submachine guns, which boasted rapid-fire capability and earned the nickname  “Tommy gun. ” Notably, these weapons cost around 200 dollars —about half the price of a Ford Model A automobile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the 1920s, American entrepreneur and car designer Henry Ford began developing a new car model to replace the famous Ford Model T, which had been produced for 18 years.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAccording to legend, the first drawing of the future car was made by Henry Fords son, Edsel.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAt least, it was he who made sketches of the design options for the radiator and the car dashboard.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe first copy of the new car, designated as the Ford Model A, was produced on October 20, 1927, and mass production began in December of the same year.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDuring the production run, Ford made changes to the design of the car, the main of which were associated with the installation of a body with more space and improving its appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCars produced after 1930 had a modified outside radiator, a new shape of the front wheel wings, and reduced wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBuyers were offered a large number of different options, among which it was possible to choose different types of body: coupe, convertible, saloon, phaeton, roadster, pickup, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eProduction of the Ford Model A ceased in 1931.
