One of the most numerous and famous cars in world history is the Model T, produced by the Ford Motor Company. It was the first mass-production car affordable to the middle class. The first example was built in September 1908. It had a 22.5hp four-cylinder engine. Over 15 million were built between 1908 and 1927. Model T’s were produced in different types, including some in 1913 that were converted into speedsters.
The Ford Model T (colloquially known as the "tin Lizzie", "leaping Lena", "jitney" or "flivver") is an automobile produced by Ford Motor Company from October 1, 1908, to May 26, 1927.[8][9] It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, which made car travel available to middle-class Americans. The relatively low price was partly the result of Ford's efficient fabrication, including assembly line production instead of individual handcrafting.[10]
The Ford Model T was named the most influential car of the 20th century in the 1999 Car of the Century competition, ahead of the BMC Mini, Citroën DS, and Volkswagen Beetle.[11] Ford's Model T was successful not only because it provided inexpensive transportation on a massive scale, but also because the car signified innovation for the rising middle class and became a powerful symbol of the United States' age of modernization.[12] With 15 million sold, it stood eighth on the top-ten list of most sold cars of all time, as of 2012.
Although automobiles had been produced from the 1880s, until the Model T was introduced in 1908, they were mostly scarce, expensive, and often unreliable. Positioned as reliable, easily maintained, mass-market transportation, the Model T was a great success. In a matter of days after the release, 15,000 orders had been placed.[14] The first production Model T was built on August 12, 1908[15] and left the factory on September 27, 1908, at the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant in Detroit, Michigan. On May 26, 1927, Henry Ford watched the 15 millionth Model T Ford roll off the assembly line at his factory in Highland Park, Michigan.[16]
Henry Ford conceived a series of cars between the founding of the company in 1903 and the introduction of the Model T. Ford named his first car the Model A and proceeded through the alphabet up through the Model T, twenty models in all. Not all the models went into production. The production model immediately before the Model T was the Model S,[17] an upgraded version of the company's largest success to that point, the Model N. The follow-up to the Model T was the Ford Model A, rather than the "Model U". The company publicity said this was because the new car was such a departure from the old that Ford wanted to start all over again with the letter A.
The Model T was Ford's first automobile mass-produced on moving assembly lines with completely interchangeable parts, marketed to the middle class.[18] Henry Ford said of the vehicle:
I will build a motor car for the great multitude. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for the individual to run and care for. It will be constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise. But it will be 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.[19]
Although credit for the development of the assembly line belongs to Ransom E. Olds, with the first mass-produced automobile, the Oldsmobile Curved Dash, having begun in 1901, the tremendous advances in the efficiency of the system over the life of the Model T can be credited almost entirely to Ford and his engineers.
The Model T has a front-mounted 177-cubic-inch (2.9 L) inline four-cylinder engine, producing 20 hp (15 kW), for a top speed of 40-45 mph (64-72 km/h).[25] According to Ford Motor Company, the Model T had fuel economy on the order of 13-21 mpg‑US (16-25 mpg‑imp; 18-11 L/100 km).[26] The engine was capable of running on gasoline, kerosene, or ethanol,[27][28] although the decreasing cost of gasoline and the later introduction of Prohibition made ethanol an impractical fuel for most users. The engines of the first 2,447 units were cooled with water pumps; the engines of unit 2,448 and onward, with a few exceptions prior to around unit 2,500, were cooled by thermosiphon action.

[@electroncreations5724]

That backstory was so cool! Where would I buy one with the figures? The only ones I've seen have no figures in the kit. You could also use LIT strontium on the ghosts and they would glow in the dark. I coated my 'Ghost of Castle Mare' figure with it, after I painted it. Also, what dollar store do you purchase your super glue at? I looked at Dollar Tree and can't find any. Thanks! Cindi aka Granny Glue- Sniffer.

[@hpiguy]

Google ICM 24026 and I'm sure a seller will turn up. I get all my super glue from Dollar Tree, I'm guessing some may not carry it? www.dollartree.com/super-glue-1oz-containers/198663

I'm not sure what I liked better, the build or the story. lol You are a great story teller and that's what I really enjoy with your builds. You don't just make a model. You make a character to a story. I was wondering where you were taking this build, and the story tied everything in perfectly. Anyway, this kit looks like one beautiful kit. I was sure surprised by the amount of details this kit had. I knew it was going to be a good one just by looking at the quality of the box.

This is a very nice build of a well-molded kit. I like the inclusion of white tires. This is accurate because early car and bicycle tires were made of natural rubber which was white. When manufacturers decided black was better, they colored rubber compounds with lamp black. Your painting tips are very valuable. Regards

[@hpiguy]

Thank you!

The engineering and forethought put into ICM products is a testament to their committment to excellence. They make modeler's models! I like the super attenton to accuracy, although some of the parts require a very delicate touch. I enjoy this aspect of their kits because I obsess over detail. It sure results in an immaculate representation of a classic vehicle- a pioneer for sure! I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I have gathered more good information from your uploads than from any others. One thing which has helped me is knowing when I need to pre-paint or just assemble and then pick out the details. You advice here moved the build on just a tad faster and I appreciate that. Pardon the exhaustive comment, but I had a lot I wanted to say. Best wishes and good health from the hills of ol' Virginia. Va. Cork
