1920 Ford Model T - Vintage Ford Car - Automobile Magazine
Toasting The Model T's One-Hundredth Birthday With A Spin Around The Block.

The Ford Model T is the auto world's granddaddy big-kahuna megastar. This is the machine that liberated mankind from rural isolation and offered the masses their first taste of urban culture. It almost single-handedly revolutionized the automobile's role from a plaything for the wealthy to a cherished member of the average household.
