Model T Birthday (1908)-- October 1, 1908, is marked as the birthday of perhaps the greatest singular automotive creation. It is the day the first Ford Model T was produced. Ford's gift to the world brought a revolution in the automobile industry. It was the perfect combination of low price, technology, and style. It featured a hand-crank motor until 1919, and its 4-cylinder engine produced around 20 horsepower. The first Ford Model T cost $850 in 1908, and with the introduction of Ford's
assembly lineproduction, the price dropped to $300 in 1927.
