I am interested in all kinds of pointers and conjectures about why specific car making corporations became so big in the US, and also why they happened to be located in Detroit.

 

I guess initially there might have been objective reasons (like cheap production of Model T), but I am particularly interested in subsidies, pro-monopolistic regulation, tarrifs, government purchase orders, etc.

Thanks in advance!
