Ford Model T

Ford Model T is one of the earliest cars produced by Ford Motor Company. The designer of this car is Henry Ford  along with Childe Wills and Joseph A. Galamb.The Model T was Ford's first automobile mass-produced on moving assembly lines with completely interchangeable parts, marketed to the middle class. It was produced   from October 1, 1908, to May 26, 1927.


Henry Ford said of the vehicle: "I will build a car for the great multitude. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for the individual to run and care for. It will be constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise. But it will be so low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one – and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in God's great open spaces."
Model T was nicknamed Tinn Lizzie. In the early 1900s, Lizzie was a name commonly given to horses, thus the name Tin Lizzie.
