The Ford Model T is quite simply one of the most important automobiles ever built, credited with transforming motoring from a luxury reserved for the wealthy into something accessible to ordinary Americans.

Henry Ford’s crowning glory, the Ford Model T not only revolutionized mobility, but the way cars are made. This was the vehicle that led to modern assembly line and mass standardization techniques of auto manufacturing that are the backbone of today’s automotive factories. Introduced in 1908, over 15 million were sold by the time the Model T was retired in 1927. Also, it was one of those rare cars where the price actually reduced as time went on – due to the production optimizations of course. It’s said that in 1908, a Model T runabout cost US$825, whereas by 1927, it had dropped to US$ 360! However, finding a Model T today isn’t that easy because they weren’t exactly preserved. After all, we’re talking about a car that’s over a century in most cases. An example like this 1924 Ford Model T Truck that you can buy from California right now.
