On this day – 1st of October – 1908 was the first Ford T-model put on the market
Henry Ford and the Ford motor Company developed the T-model, one of the most sold cars ever. The car was in production between 1908 and 1927 and it was the first affordable car, thus brining the automobile to the American middle class. The reason the car was affordable, was because it was produced on the assembly line and the car cost only $825 in 1909. Only one model of the car was produced and in the middle of the 1920s was the car only produced in black as well. Ford allegedly said "Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black."
