Ford Model T: The Car That Put The World On Wheels

The story of Ford Motor Company’s Model T is the story of the American automobile industry - and of America’s love affair with the car. When he introduced the Model T in 1908, even an inveterate optimist like Henry Ford could not have predicted the f ar-reaching changes he was setting in motion. One hundred years later, this illustrated history looks back at the beloved Tin Lizzie. The book follows the Model T from design considerations (its ground clearance, for instance, had to allow for the a b ysmal state of U.S. roadways at the time) to its lasting legacy, and along the way describes the mechanical, manufacturing, and marketing innovations that the car’s production entailed.
