Step-by-step explanation:

Historical sources believe that Henry Ford first saw parts made from vanadium steel in Europe which were been used on racing cars and luxurious vehicles.

Ford was impressed due to the fact that Vanadium steel unlike normal steel was cheaper and at the same time stronger and lighter if it was used on automobiles.
