From 1908 to 1927, more than 15,000,000 Model T’s were built and sold.
The Ford Model T, also known as the “Tin Lizzie,” was an automobile produced by Ford Motor Company from 1908 to 1927. It was the first affordable automobile and made car ownership accessible to the middle class. The Model T was designed by Henry Ford and his team, and it was constructed using a simple frame and body structure, a four-cylinder engine, and a transmission with only two forward gears and one reverse gear. One of the most significant factors in the Model T’s success was Ford’s use of assembly-line production techniques. This allowed the car to be produced more quickly and at a lower cost than other vehicles of the time. Over the years, the Model T went through several changes and advancements, including the adoption of electric lights, starter motors, and improved suspension. Approximately 15 million Model T’s were produced, making it one of the most important and iconic cars in history.
