I imported my 1925 Ford Model T
from the USA, not far from
Detroit, Michigan where it was
built.
In this video I demonstrate the
T's unusual controls and how
they all work, I show you how to
start a Model T, and I take you
on a short drive at the end.
The Model T was manufactured
between 1908 and 1927, and was
know by various names including
Tin Lizzie, Flivver, T‑Model
Ford, or just 'T'.
The Model T set 1908 as the
historic year that the
automobile became popular. It is
generally regarded as the first
affordable automobile, the car
that opened travel to the common
middle-class American; some of
this was because of Ford's
innovations, including assembly
line production instead of
individual hand crafting.
On May 26, 1927, Henry Ford
watched the 15 millionth Model T
Ford roll off the assembly line
at his factory in Highland Park,
Michigan. |
