At least 20 Ford Model Ts were displayed yesterday at the WoodenBoat School. It was part of a show by the Down East Chapter of the Model T Ford Club of America, one of the largest chapters in the country.
The Model T was sold by the Ford Motor Company from 1908 to 1927, and was the earliest effort to make an automobile that most people in the rising middle class could afford. It revolutionized human culture, among other effects.
Why was it called the “Model T?” The answer is as straight-forward as Henry Ford and his methods: The first design of what was to be an affordable car was Model “A.” By the twentieth design, Model T, the creators got what they hoped for.
