1950s

This dimension groups vehicles by the year they were introduced. Some years mark a genuine turning point, such as when "the Ford Motor Company further revolutionized automobile production by developing and selling its Ford Model T at a relatively modest price," as Wikipedia records of 1908. Browsing by year places a vehicle in the wider timeline of transport history.
