There was a book published in 2008 titled, Ford Model T: The Car That Put the World on Wheels. It’s an interesting read about how Henry Ford’s launch of the Model T in 1908 was the start of the U.S. automobile industry, and America’s decades-long love affair with the “freedom of the road.”
Despite its humble appearance, the Model T became the most influential car of the 20th century. Priced so that the average American could afford it, the Model T was sold from 1908 until 1927.
