Some information you may know about Model T
The Ford Motor Company's Model T, which was sold from 1908 until 1927, was the first attempt to create an automobile that ordinary people could afford.

The Ford Model T, which debuted on October 1, 1908, was a self-starting vehicle with a left-side steering wheel and an enclosed four-cylinder engine with a removable cylinder head and a one-piece cylinder block. It was made of vanadium alloy steel and provided outstanding strength despite its low weight.
