The Ford Model T celebrates its 100th birthday this year, marking a new age for travel and success across the world. Many folks will be able to see a special parade unit featuring the Model T in America's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which will take place on November 27th in Detroit, Michigan.
Henry Ford launched the first Model T on October 1, 1908, making it the first mass-produced car of its kind. Since that initial car came off of the line, Ford put out 15 million more over the course of the next 19 years. The Model T remained one of the most popular and purchased cars until production ended on May 26, 1927.
During the America's Thanksgiving Parade, the 19 Model Ts will represent the 19 years that the car was in production. Each of these Model Ts was sold for $825 in its day, making it a truly universal car, as was Henry Ford's vision. As a sort-of two-door roadster, the car made a name for itself by being able to power through even the deepest mud and toughest of storms.
Still, though the price was considered low and the vehicle considered powerful, Ford continued to refine the car's capabilities on the assembly line. By 1921, more than 57 percent of the automobiles in production were Model Ts.
Currently, Ford still works hard to be on the leading edge of technology and advancement in the automotive industry. Its newest line-up of cars feature EcoBoost engines, which offer fuel-efficient powertrains, and also provides some of the world's smallest cars on the market.
The company is still based in Michigan, though it has moved over to Dearborn. Ford cars can be found on six continents around the world and are made from 90 plants worldwide by more than 229,000 employees.
