"Ford's Model T, introduced in 1908, was simple, sturdy and relatively inexpensive--but not inexpensive enough for Ford, who was determined to build "motor car[s] for the great multitude." ("When I'm through," he said, "about everybody will have one.") In order to lower the price of his cars, Ford figured, he would just have to find a way to build them more efficiently."

"The Model T is widely considered to be the most influential car of the 20th Century. The anniversary for the first Model built for sale is October 1, 1908, and in the 90's the Ford Model T was named “Car of the Century” by a panel of 133 automotive journalists and experts who began with a list of 700 candidates and sequentially narrowed the nominees through seven rounds of balloting over three years.
The Model T became famous for being the first low-priced, mass-produced automobile with standard, interchangeable parts. It was equipped with a 20-horsepower, 4-cylinder engine with a top speed of about 45 miles per hour, weighed 1,200 pounds, and achieved 13-21 miles per gallon.
The moving assembly line for the Model T revolutionized manufacturing in 1913 and proved successful with more than 15 Million Model Ts having been sold by May 26, 1927, when a ceremony marked the formal end of Model T production.
Henry Ford called the Model T “the universal car,” a low-cost, reliable vehicle that could be maintained easily and could successfully travel the poor roads of the era.
On May 26, 1927 Henry watched the 15 millionth Model T roll off the assembly line in Highland Park, Michigan. This same year was the last year the Model T was produced."
