Ford Model T

The car that put the world on wheels/Cars & Road Vehicles

Henry Ford's Model T was produced from 1908 to 1927 and sold over 15 million units. It was available in any color you liked, as long as you liked black. Its 20-horsepower engine made it slower than a modern riding lawnmower, but it changed civilization forever.
