Vehicle Description
1914 Ford Model T The Ford Model T (colloquially known as the Tin
Lizzie, Leaping Lena, jitney or flivver) is an automobile produced
by Ford Motor Company from October 1, 1908, to May 26, 1927. 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 efficient fabrication, including assembly line
production instead of individual hand crafting. The Ford Model T
was named the most influential car of the 20th century in the 1999
Car of the Century competition, ahead of the BMC Mini, Citroen DS,
and Volkswagen Type 1. Ford's Model T was successful not only
because it provided inexpensive transportation on a massive scale,
but also because the car signified innovation for the rising middle
class and became a powerful symbol of America's age of
modernization. With 16.5 million sold it stands eighth on the top
ten list of most sold cars of all time as of 2012. Although
automobiles had already existed for decades, they were still mostly
scarce, expensive, and unreliable at the Model T's introduction in
1908. Positioned as reliable, easily maintained, mass-market
transportation, it was a runaway success. In a matter of days after
the release, 15,000 orders were placed. The first production Model
T was produced on August 12, 1908 and left the factory on September
27, 1908, at the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant in Detroit, Michigan.
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. STOCK NUMBER AAH19261 Please Note The Following **Vehicle
