A Brief Description:

Description

The Ford Model T was perhaps the first vehicle to ever be mass produced and made for the people. The 4 cylinder, automatic transmission, engine made it relatively easy for people to drive and also offered speed and power that hadn't been available to the people. It truly was a car for the people. The relationship between the Model T and American citizens played an important factor in its popularity during the First World War. A brief description, as well as pictures of the original Model T, can show the vehicles transformation from domestic life to a life of war.
