As America grew, the need for automobiles expanded with it. Many auto makers had specialized component factories spread out over a region, and parts produced were shipped by rail to central assembly plants. Some of the earliest parts shipped were car frames, stacked on flat cars and chained in place, or stacked vertically in a rack in a gondola as our model depicts.
