1915 Ford Model T Touring

Description

Playing a pivotal role in the evolution of the automotive industry, the Ford Model T is widely recognized as the first mass-produced, affordable car for the average consumer. Built by the Ford Motor Company using their revolutionary automobile assembly line, Ford would offer customers an attractive variety of body styles that could cater to a vast variety of needs. As the Model T continued to gain notoriety, Ford pushed to speed up the production process and beginning in 1914 launched their famous “any color so long as it is black” policy. Powered by a trusty 20-horsepower four-cylinder engine paired with a planetary transmission, the Model T is celebrated as a symbol of innovation that was a pioneering force that transformed the way that people moved and connected in the early days of motorized transportation.
