that could be replace by another)

• The early Model Ts actually did come in a variety of colors, but beginning in 1914 and for the next eleven years, the Model T would be sold in only one color: black.

• The reason for this was the black enamel used dried more quickly than other paints and sped up production.

• Consumers were not offered a choice of colors again until 1926, due in part to slumping sales.

We’re all BLACKWe’re all BLACK
