With production beginning in 1908, the Ford Model T was one of the first vehicles to be built by Ford’s famous moving assembly line, complete with interchangeable parts. Because it was mass produced instead of hand-crafted, it had a low price point ($260-$900) that put car ownership within reach of average middle-class Americans. It is no surprise then that the Model T became known as the ‘world’s most affordable car’ during its 19-year production run. Overall, a total of 14,689,525 were produced, and to this day remains one of the most sold cars of all time.
The style of this 1913 Ford Model T might look a little strange with its wooden body and bus-like shape. It is known as a Depot Hack. It was designed to carry people and their luggage from the train station to their hotel. This is where modern-day taxis originated from! But this Model T’s transportation days are far behind it as it rests easy in the Car Museum.
