The assembly line was so efficient, that it made Ford Model T affordable to more people than just the rich.
Henry Ford's Model T was the most successful car produced by volume. More than 15,000,000 Model T vehicles were produced through the 1920s.
The Ford Model S preceded the Model T. It was a Model K with right hand steering.
The 1916 Chevrolet Series 490 was Chevrolets first attempt to compete with the Model T. but it cost $60 more than a Model T which at the time was allot of money. It was not successful.
It was built by the assembly line method of production. (OW)
The assembly line, allowing for lower costs due to work specialization.
Yes it was very successful. Ford sold over 15 million from 1908 until production ended in 1927. It was the best selling car by far during that period of time.
The t in model t stands for testing
There was a Ford Model A built before the Model T. But the model right after the Model T was again the Model A. This is confusing but after the Model T Henry Ford decided the to start over with the Model designation.
The Ford Model T was known as 'Tin Lizzie' , T, Flivver, & T Model.
The Ford model T was successful because of many factors but most of all it was inexpensive. When the model T was first introduced it sold for around $850. This compared to other vehicles selling for 2, 3, or 4 times as much. At that time in our history only the rich could afford an automobile. Those automobiles were very complicated and hard to maintain. It almost required you have your own personal mechanic. The model T was simple to build, simple to operate, and easy to repair. Lots of people could afford the price of the early Model T and by the time production ended in the late 20s the price had dropped to $250 which anyone could forward. When production ceased on the Model T Ford had sold over 15 million worldwide and it was the number one selling car in the world.
The last Model T was built in 1927.
No. In the list of five most successful cars ever (see related link at the bottom), the Model T ranks 5th, surpassed by the Volkswagen Beetle, Volkswagen Golf, Ford F-Series, and Toyota Corolla.
