Ford Model T

One hundred years after the Model T's introduction, this marvelously illustrated history examines all aspects of the car's genesis, production, marketing, and legacy. Veteran automotive journalist Lindsay Brooke explores Model T predecessors, the production methods that evolved to meet the demand for the car, and Ford's introduction of the revolutionary "five-dollar day." Brooke also traces 19 years of model changes, covers T-based trucks, and provides a rollicking look at the car's role in early motorsports and hot rodding. Illustrated throughout with photography and period art, much of it from The Henry Ford Museum, Model T: The Car That Put the World on Wheelsbrings the story right up to the present, with a look at T ownership today. The result is a fitting tribute to the world's first automotive icon.Brooke, Lindsay is the author of 'Ford Model T', published 2008 under ISBN 9780760327289 and ISBN 0760327289.
