Ford Model T Celebrates 100 Years

In the middle of the oil crisis, high gas prices and closing car plants, Ford will be celebrating a milestone in their car making history. This year, the company Henry Ford built, will pay homage to the first ever affordable American car, the Ford Model T.

It was in September of 1908 when Henry Ford said he will make a car that is affordable to any person earning decent amount of money, a car that is big enough for the whole family but is small enough for an individual to drive and can be easily taken care of. And he produced the Model T, putting the "Americans on wheels".

Ford has started the alphabet of cars. He started with Model A, then there was the Model N, the S, the T and others. And perhaps the Model T is one of the best the company have ever produced. Global Automotive Elections Foundation conducted the poll for Most Influential Car of the 20th Century and the Ford Model T emerged as the grand champion.

The 6 day celebration will be starts today, July 21 to 26 in Wayne County, Indiana. 900 Model Ts are expected to be displayed for this event, and will definitely become the biggest event of the Model T since it went out of the factory.

Model T were in production for 20 years. And for two decades, they have built more or less 15 million of it.

Ford's Model T is known for the name Tin Lizie. But arguably, the best name the car was given was the 19th Century's "Car of the Mass" that changed the face of America's automobile industry.
