Description: The Model T Ford was the vehicle that truly put the world on wheels and it has a almost unparalleled position in motoring history. The design of the car was an extraordinary achievement in the era and the fact that it remained in production for almost two decades and through 15 million cars is a tribute to that. This book provides a fresh look at the car 100 years on.It is not an engineering treatise or an owner's manual; the aim is to get inside the mind of Henry Ford and to explain the design features that accounted for the car's success and to do so in a way that will appeal to anyone who would like to know why it has generated so much enthusiasm. The story is as much about people as it is about nuts and bolts. The character of the engineer and his design are interwoven to a surprising degree, and the singular personality of Mr Ford is shown to be reflected in his car.
