"Every day I watched how a bare metal frame, rolling down the line, would come off the other end, a spanking brand new car [Lincoln-Mercury automobile factory, Detroit]. What a great idea! Maybe, I could do the same thing with my music." -- Berry Gordy Jr. Motown founder.

Although he clearly did it, I wonder how the analogy helped him realize his intention.
The full quote clarifies this:
"Every day I watched how a bare metal frame, rolling down the line, would come off the other end, a spanking brand new car. What a great idea! Maybe, I could do the same thing with my music. Create a place where a kid off the street could walk in one door, an unknown, go through a process, and come out a star."
The source of the quotation should've been included:
