The Ford

Model T

“I will build a motor car for the great

multitude, constructed of the best

materials, by the best men to be

hired, after the simplest designs that

modern engineering can devise … so

low in price that no man making a

good salary will be unable to own one

and enjoy with his family the blessing

of hours of pleasure in God’s great

open spaces.”
